Look at it from this perspective. The geth see the reapers as a legitimate threat to their existence. They allow and help sheperd to either destroy the geth hub or save it. Legion saves Sheperd and is nearly destroyed by doing it. I agree that being paragon is being a little to optimistic at times, but being renegade to save the reaper base is the most risky move in the game. The quarians were attempting to comit genoicde on the geth who believed they were a sentient enslaved race, whether you think they are or not. The quarians were not going to compromise with what they believed to be tools and after they took the quarian homeworld. The safest thing to do is to destroy the hub, but then the geth could still be turned by the reapers. When you choose paragon the result is the experiences of the heretic geth are uploaded into the regular geth network. This could help in the geth resisting take over by the reapers. No matter what Legion helps to destroy or capture the prothean/reaper base.

Now adressing how the geth are sentient from a real world perspective it is hard to see something like a computer being sentient, but think of it from this perspective. Humans are an organic race with the brain controling the rest of the body. The brain when thinking involves chemical reactions, etc. It is nothing but scientific or biological reactions. The human body is made up of certain periodic elements, just not metal based. Life can be sentient through many elements and life has many surprises. Have you ever heard of the immortal jellyfish or bacteria or whatever that creates itself. There can be sentient life that is metal based like the geth and whose line of thinking involving a different form of chemical reactions. The only problem is how can something Quarian made become sentient. That is a little hard to percieve and comparison with the technology of today would be impossible, but its reasonable in the game.

rewriting geth is paragon decision fro the same reason as allowing Rachni queen to live and repopulate. paragon is all about giving "people" a second chance, while renegade is more of a"you f-ed up, no more chances for you" each one is valid in its own way. each one can result in bad things (for instance paragon choice in Samara's recruitment mission results in letting lose a killer)
sometimes people deserve second chances. sometimes they don't. but you don't know which one they are unless you give them that chance. Renegade, being more expedient don't give those chances.

Agreed. Pretty much everything Shepard does has no real consequences.
I wish I had his/her luck.

Seriously, I'm actually starting to notice a pattern. Renegade players use the same argument Paragon players typically use when they turn the Reaper base over to Cerberus. Whatever justifications there may be, at the end of the day you're still putting complete faith into someone you have no control over.
When it comes to Legion and the Heretics, while I give Legion the benefit of the doubt, still destroy the Heretics more times than not. Reapers are beyond the realms of our control, as Retribution showed. There's no guarantee that the Heretics may still be under the Reapers sway even after the virus is destroyed.
