Can they "scorch the Citadel clean" though? I don't recall any evidence to support that assertion. In doing so, they would likely risk destroying the controls they came there to access in the first place, and possibly even destroying the Citadel itself. So even if we accept that they could do it (again, don't recall any proof to back this up), I don't think they would. I agree we need to give the Reapers some credit. I just think you're giving them too much credit.
