1) Ahree with martolives and I posted something similar below. It's more logical the synthesis than the teleportation through a mass relay. 

I have to seriously disagree with this, from multiple standpoints. First, mass effect FTL actually is more "realistic" then a big green light giving every living thing in the galaxy circuits - neither are possible, but the former at least uses real life physics as a starting point, whereas the latter is completely made-up.

Second, and more importantly, no good science fiction work is a matter of "anything goes". Mass effect physics may be impossible in the real world, but within the confines of its fictional setting, it has specific and coherent rules that are closely adhered to. Synthesis does not follow any previously established rules and is never even hinted at as being possible before. It's an entirely different issue.
