You don't get it, Control is highly tolerant of them because they MUST exist for you to control them. However I am very curious how one rationalizes that not killing the Reapers, will result in killing the Reapers. Even if this would be possible, under the context of IT, it makes not much sense then for him to downplay destroy as much as possible. But hey, maybe destroy is the only indoctrination ending.

Now that would truly be a hell of a twist. Not that it makes much sense, but who knows... maybe it gives further access, crucial access, into Shepard's mind. While any of the other options would not result in indoctrination because it keeps their greedy little whispers out of the very back of Shepard's mind. So maybe it is the other choices, why exactly do you think IT hinges on it being Destroy? I was just using the most common interpretation.
