The game actually bears that point out, because the mission does succeed if Shepard continues on to the AA Tower, with the Salarians and Ashley evacuated. The difference between a smart tactical move and a bad one is success.
The above is a fallacy. The future is unknown at the time, and cannot be used as justification. (Incidentally, I think a lot of people have simply incorporated this knowledge deeply enough that it’s hard to make a choice without it having an effect.)
I agree.
I was just pointing that no matter what choice Shepard makes in that situation, ultmately it turns out to be tactically sound because it succeeds.
Speaking of not having foreknowledge of how Virmire will play out...
A secondary reason I had Shepard keep pushing forward to the Salarians was that I figured that a few STG witnesses would spur the galaxy into action."Finally, someone to back up what Shepard has been saying!" I figured they could testify about the whole Reaper business, and if that failed to move the Council evidence of a genophage cure surely would.
Of course the STG survivors end up not mattering. The Council still ignores Shep.

I assume by "you see spots of explosions in the Milky Way " you mean the ME3 ending where you see space magic energy going from relay to relay, right? What the approximate diameter of the Milky Way has to do with anything? Actually hypernova is not a star, supernova is not a star either. Big stars just explode as supernovas when they "die" and supernova explosions that contain enough energy are classified as hypernovas. and yes, supernova may lead into a black hole, but depending on the star's mass, also a neutron star. And yes, I also know black holes emit different kinds of radiation, gamma, x.-rays and so on (which is pretty much the only way we can even detect them, through the radiation they emit, in addition to how they affect on the objects and space around them). But still the radiation travels through the space at the speed of light. And the universe is a huge place consisting of billions of galaxies and it's constantly expanding. So even though the gamma radiation for example, can be theoretically detected in anywhere in the universe, it could still take a lot more time to reach far away galaxies than the universe has even existed yet, so there are places in the universe the gamma rays would practically never reach. And you still needed to be ready to detect them with your detectors, so they won't just magically light up the whole galaxy in a blink of an eye. And supernovas, hypernovas and gamma rays really can't be "seen" at all, only detected by using fine scientific instruments.

Hmm.. Liara comic with artwork by FolksNeedHeroes could be damn awesome.
