That is not true. What the geth were clear about was not letting the technology from the base shape how they would develop in the future. That is the advice Legion gives to Shepard if he keeps the base, and it is appropriate.

Which is equivalent to not using the base, since using it to develop or reverse engineer any sort of technology would shape how humans develop their future. It's invariable. Either the base has no useful technology, in which case it won't matter whether we keep it or, or it will only marginally alter the balance of power, in which case it barely matters whether we keep it or not, or it can equalize the incredible gap between us and the reapers, in which case it is impossible for it not to alter our development.

Defeating the reapers is more important that ensuring we develop along some sort of unique path.

Edit: I also disagree that you have to choose between developing along your own path or saving the collector base.

So we can wipe ourselves out as our technology exceeds our cultural advancements, because that worked out so well for the Krogan oh.. wait.

We could wipe ourselves out if our technology did not exceed our cultural advancements.

There is no cultural graduation point at which you are suddenly and objectively 'qualified' to use technology, nor is there any cultural tipping point at which technology becomes suddenly less powerful.

Example:  without a complex web of technologies that support food production that is vastly increased over what is available through hunting and gathering, the vast majority of ****** sapiens would starve to death in well under a year.
