We want internal consistency.
It wouldn't be science fiction if it were consistent with reality.
The use of the term Space Magic to pick on this one part of the fiction is a bit hypocritical when one accepts other aspects of the fiction that is not consistent with reality. Why? Because the critique of Space Magic is levied because of it's inconsistency with reality (i.e., how is that possible?). It would be best to use another term.
Stop putting words in our mouths, unless you are really that ignorant of why we hate this absurdity.
Space magic is specifically referring to the totally unexplained "magical" properties of Spacebrat. If it had some sort of explanation, we would probably still say it was ridiculous. But as is, it is unexplained and totally absurd.
Hence, magic.
I didn't. I'm just paraphrasing what you're saying.
What makes space brats magic any less acceptable than all the rest of the space magic hurrled at us? Objectively speaking, of course?
FYI: I find that people tend to get emotional, defensive and use inflamatory language when they cannot articulate themselves in a clear and concise manner or explain why they believe or do certain things.
You are not paraphrasing. You are oversimplifying what people are saying and ignoring what they actually said.
Either because you are a troll, or you lack the cognitive ability to understand their real point.

Now you are just blatantly making crap up.
If you want to argue with a straw man, go ahead.
Obviously it's the only thing you are intelligent enough to converse with on an equal level..

To simplify means to take something that's there and reduce it, not fabricate it.
Space Magic is all over ME. So the term lacks meaning when using it to point out one piece of the fiction that isn't agreeable.

There is a difference between biotics (which are glossed over with a codex entry that at least tries to explain it with science mumbo jumbo and eezo) and synthetics having DNA. One you can look past, one makes you question everything that has to do with it.
So one piece of BS sounds better than the other because of mumbo jumbo and eezo (a made up thing)? LOL

All of the "science" in the ME universe is based on the supposition that "there exists an element called element zero, or eezo, which, when an electric current is passed through it, will either decrease or increase mass, depending on the charge of the current". This is the basis of the other technologies which may seem like "magic" in the ME universe, and so any technology that can be explained in terms of either eezo or the Mass Effect is internally consistent with the science of the ingame universe. However, as it stands now, the result of firing the CrucibleCitadelCatalyst l4z0r is not.

You're in denial. It's okay, I went through that when I saw the blantant space magic in ME3's ending.

What? That's the least far-fetched thing in Mass Effect.
Your real question should be to explain to you the science of someone surviving atmospheric re-entry in a spacesuit.

I'm more interested in how they fixed his brain.
When they introduced the possibility that Shepard was actually a VI who though he was Shepard, I was excited.
Then they just dropped it and never addressed the issue further.

I have to admit there was a massiv grin on my face when he said that, though I am ultimately happy that they did not elaborate on it
