That is not the claim. The claim is that using it means developing predictably enough for the Reapers to have an easy time harvesting. It's also elaborated on that using just that technology with no forethought or intent to understand it (using it blindly) will lead to your destruction. It says nothing about using it and developing it past its limits, something I assume would happen eventually for all cycles if the Reapers didn't cut it short.Ieldra2 wrote...
It makes narrative sense because the claim that depending on Reaper technology (like the relays) is limiting in the long run is one of the main philosophical stances presented in the games. Destroy represents both sides of this stance. Cherrypicking shouldn't be allowed here. I'd even go so far and say that it isn't even out of place for the Synthesis, because that option is based on the notion that things go in new, exotic directions. If you read the mid-term speculation part in my out of the dark age thread, you'll see what I mean.
And of course, these scenarios give Miranda an opportunity to shine by using her brilliant mind to overcome some of the limitations imposed by the side-effects of Shepard's action. But that...is fanfic.
Come on, where's that "we'll study it and adapt it for our own use" mentality that used to drive the CB arguments?
