I can't tell whether everything after "...in some manner" is addressed to me or not, but on the assumption that it did: please take the time to read people's posts before launching into rants.

I said nothing about the capabilities of particle accelerators or 'magical macguffins' (except to say that the Susskind Superconductor wasn't one) - my argument was simply that, if it was meant to "mean" anything aside from simply being a bit of trivia tying into CDN, it was indicative of the Reapers' priorities, and how they saw research installations as more threatening then military forces. I don't think the writers meant to imply that the supercollider itself could have (wholly or in part) made any kind of war-winning discovery, and whatever they might have been thinking I know I definitely wasn't arguing that. Frankly, I don't think the majority of planetary Codex entries are supposed to be anything but neat background details (same reason I doubt the Rothla event was meant to be dark energy - related).
