That's BS. I'm pretty sure this was printed out with a list of other plot hole clarifications that was handed out to all the Bioware guys. EDI was designed from reaper tech. The game itself said she was.
These guys are retconning their own story to make the glitches and plotholes fit.
EDI's body doesn't have reaper tech, however her AI core in the Normandy uses Hardware from Sovereign and reaper software to improve her countermeasures.
Pretty much every in-game piece of tech derived from reaper tech. A lot of stuff was salvaged from Sovereign, enough to create a wide array of things. I'm sure EDI is not the only person we know who should kick the bucket if the catalyst isn't lying. Frankly, I'd bet that some of the weapons you're using against the reapers came from reaper tech. The galactic scale takes a hit too, it seems.
Also, something is tugging at me. How is Destroy option capable of destroying all synthetic life? It makes no sense that it would be able to conduct this without eliminating organic species or breaking the laws of physics (even space magic physics). It's understandable that the reapers could be KIA'd, but not every synthetic in the galaxy. Plus this makes little sense, because people will only make more in the first place (because NO-ONE knows why the f**k that synthetics will supposedly be "their doom"). Who's to say that the Quarians wouldn't just rebuild the Geth but this time, do it properly and treat them as equals?
