Oh I'd expect there to be other solutions as well. The blog says to suppose that the Reapers are telling the truth, however, and that it really does boil down to "save humanity (and lose everybody, humanity inclusive, at a later date)" or "save the universe (but humanity is gone)," and in that case, it's obvious that humanity should be sacrificed.
