Perhaps more like the difference between Machine Code and DNA; binary and quadrenary(?), then. And there's a certain point when you can just say anything is possible. Sure, but for me (and I'm sure for many others), that completely ruins the atmosphere of the situation. (I never liked Q in Star Trek...)
Anyways, this is almost as pointless as arguing about God now. Not sure if Master Che was trolling or... but Laurencio had some interesting points (which I disagree with, but c'est la vie).
I agree that technology at that scale does ruin the "fun" of it. However it is not all that more unlikely than being able to ressurect Shepard. If they do have that level of technology then there is no reason why it would be an impossible leap of faith. It is only refered to as space magic because people don't like the outcome of it.
It puzzles me slightly how no one has raised pretty much this exact issue when it comes to the production of husks and reaper soldiers. They pretty much undergo a process of going from organic life forms into a synthetic like reaper form, yet maintaining a certain unique "ability" (Banshees)

Think of it this way. The ME3 ending is Luke confronting the Emperor. You can choose to replace your father and become like him (control) or reject the emperor's offer and take your own chances (destroy). But wait! A sudden, third choice is Luke can jump down the air shaft, sacrificing himself to summon a green force cloud and now everyone in the galaxy is part of the "Grey Side" with both light and dark sides of the force combined into a single force. That's the ME3 synthesis ending. There was never any indication that the force can be used like this but it just can be darn it because we needed to round everything out with a middle-of-the-road ending.
Also, to spell out other people's points more. They're stating that if some ancient species that created the Reapers and the Citadel also had the ability to force all life in the galaxy to be part organic, part synthetic thus solving the quandry of organics being wiped out by synthetics then why didn't they just do that eons ago instead of slaughtering untold numbers of civilizations? The problem could've been solved before it ever began but wasn't for no particular reason hence the "Yo dawg, I heard you didn't want to be killed by synthetics" meme.
Well that is just widly inaccurate. It is more like if Luke had a third option where he didn't have to do either and someone else ensured that the force could live on in a different form, preventing him from making those choices, a force understanding that wasn't necessarily light or dark. Oh wait.
The civilzation that created the technology of the reapers probably didn't do so for them to destroy everyhing in their path. As the starchild mentions this is "his" solution. Which could easily mean that he expanded upon the paramaters he orginially had been given, much like V.I.K.I in IRobot expanded upon the three laws of robotics to come to another somehwat ilogical conclusion. They can't utilize this technology, as that would only serve to make the reapers irrelevant. Removing the potential or ability to create synthetic life forms to rebel against their creators removes the ability or the potential for reapers to reap.
You can not expect any species, synthetic or otherwise to end the very thing that gives them purpose. That would be against their very core. Even if we imagine that the starchild is seperate from the reapers and their purpose he exists seemingly, to maintain order and avoid chaos. In order for him to do so he would have to ensure that the potential for chaos still exists, as order can not exist without chaos (dark can not exist without light), because without that potential he becomes irrelevant as well.
I'm a bit iffy on the last part, but essentially they are acting in a way that prevents themselves from becoming obsolete, from not having any real purpose. They act to ensure their "survival".
