I am forced to use the same points because they are not being countered. I assure you, I am not ignoring any points.
How would the knowledge of wreckage helps us plan? Our kinetic barriers protect against the debris, so nothing about the plan would change.
No. They. Don't. Kinetic barriers CANNOT protect anyone from slow moving attacks. Its why melee works in ME. It's why Shepard can sit in a chair while his shields are active. You don't understand the in-game content.
What is your confusion about the probes and kinetic barriers point? Is it common knowledge that probes do have kinetic barriers? Please explain what I am missing here.
How do you know that probes can't have kinetic barriers? A small organic life form like a human can, so why not a probe? Especially when, in your next point, you agree that QE tech could be put on a probe?
There is no proof the superstructure on Ploba was created by the Reapers. That is a moot point as there is no evidence suggesting their involvment.
If it wasn't created by the Reapers, then who? Another younger race? That only helps my point, because it meant that the Reapers were stronger than that race -- thus Reaper tech > planet sized supercomputers.
The Reapers, I say again, are not gods. Their greatest known achievement is the construction of a 44 kilometer space station. That is nothing compared to constructing a planet.
Actually their greatest creations were the mass relays which they built millions of years ago. Don't undermine their power.
That is ridiculous. The Collectors were harvesting humans for the Reapers, so they were doing their dirty work for them. If there were millions of Collectors, they would have abducted Earth. The Reapers then could have wiped out the rest of the organic species in the galaxy. What is so hard to understand about this? If there was a planet's worth of Collectors, why wouldn't the Reapers use them to their fullest potential?
They could abduct every human in the Terminus, and not have enough to fill these pods!
They're going to target Earth!

We don't know if probes have kinetic barriers or not. The burden of proof is on you though.
If a race dedicates all of its resources to solely developing a super structure like that, and places little to know emphasis on military matters, them being wiped out by the Reapers doesn't mean the Reapers can do anything that race can. Using an example from Halo, just because the Flood wiped out the Forerunner (well technically 'were on the verge of wiping out the Forerunner) doesn't mean the Flood could create the Halo's.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. What I meant by greatest achievement, is greatest sized achievement. This was in response to your claims of Reapers being able to create planets.
The comment of some random, uninformed squad member proves what exactly? You have still been unable to counter my point that if there were millions of Collectors, they would have attacked Earth. If there were millions of Collectors, why alert humans at all of the Collector's plans by abducting simple colonies? Why wouldn't they just harvest all of Earth in a single surprise attack?
Maybe because there weren't millions of Collectors?
