User blog comment:The Milkman/Indoctrination Theorists Say the Darndest Things, Part II/@comment-98.240.62.123-20121205063937/@comment-4237253-20121205135952

You always say that indoctrination is complete when you believe the Reapers are the good guys. Not true. As Lily said, they manipulate you using your ambitions. Neither Saren nor TIM actually believed the Reapers were good, they were just fooled. TIM thought he could control the Reapers. He never once said they were good. Like Shepard, he is still opposed to them. The Reapers merely manipulated his mantra of "humanity first".

The Reapers don't want Synthesis. They want to wipe out a huge group of lifeforms to maintain the status quo. In that sense, Destroy is more along the lines of what the Reapers believe, isn't it?
