Guys, seriously, this discussion belongs in another topic. It's a literalist/face value thing, NOT AN IT thing. People are going to come in here and get really confused.
I know I am

Although if the desicion room is where the Crucible and the Citadel meet, wouldn't it be impossible for Shepard to be in said space physically? Not to mention that the "divine ascention" into said place is a bit weird and heavy on symbolism...
Indeed, the kineetic barriers are disigned to keep foreign objects from hitting the citadel. Since the crucible docked, there should be no barrier, there for, Shepard shouldn't be able to breath. Also, when the crucble explodes it would consume all the oxygen anyway, reducing the chances of the "Shepard Alive" scene taking place on the citadel as well.
To be honest, I'm not really fond of the arguments against Shepard being able to be where he is. Yes, it's speculations, but it heavily depends on how far BW bend the physics. Of course, Shep being able to survive an explosion, reentry and impact with +10k km/h without proper protection is bending it too far.
Arguments about the Carnifex/Predator switch are imho the best we have because, thx to flycam, we can see how the guns swap exactly when the shockwave hits. This really hints towards something done on purpose.
But whether there was a real possibily or not for Shep to be where he seems to be...too hard to check the argument.
