(1) Sentient machine isn't an oxymoron
(2) Sentient machines in the ME universe run on logic, so they'd probably be offended that you can't apply logic to them. (Well, if they grew some emotions they would.)

Sentient (as opposed to sapient) means having feelings and emotions and not just "running on logic". It's a popular theme with roots in classic science fiction, but I still find it rather silly personally.

(3) Legion explains how the virus works, it creates a rounding error in a specific subroutine, and the rewire corrects it.

From the way Legion explained it, to me it sounded like the heretics were indoctrinated, just with a computer virus instead of a mind control field... thing. I see rewriting them as reversing indoctrination, which seems pretty paragon to me.

Except there's no direct indication of that, and it's possible you are applying the logic-altering virus onto the perfectly valid runtimes. Legion admits there is a probability of error (if you choose the "destroy" option).

That still sounds pretty Paragon to me. You know the Reapers are evil, you know that they like to take over the minds of other sentient creatures, you know that they're synthetic lifeforms, you know that synthetic lifeforms are adept at manipulating other machines. It's not too difficult to connect the dots. Paragon choices generally involve more than a little bit of doubt in their decisions.

I'm not saying it's the right decision, I'm saying it's the Paragon, "kill as few people as possible, friend to all living things" option. I dont' know what the right decision is, it's a pretty morally ambiguous choice either way, one of two decisions that actually made me pause thinking about the ramifications.

i could swear legion says sov changed the geth with a number ending in .02 instead of .03 so that eventually all higher brain functions changed

[thegreateski]

You would be mildly mistaken.



A portion of the Geth reach a number ending with yada yada yada. No brainwashing involved.

The "math error" mention was a Pentium bug joke.



http://en.wikipedia....entium_FDIV_bug



You'll notice the examples at the bottom, specifically the 4195835 divided by 3145727 differences. Correct answer being 1.33382 yada yada, while the Pentium bug produced 1.33373 yada yada.



Legion says: "An equation with a result of 1.33382 returns as 1.33381."



Don't use jokes as canon.
