Ironically, that applies far more to anti-synthesists (who see humanity as being fine) than to synthesists (who are willing to face our flaws head-on.)

"This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes."

Seeing humanity as being fine is not the same as denying that humanity has flaws.

I don't like Synthesis. I see humanity as fine they way we are. I acknowledge humanity has flaws. I see these flaws as the fundimental aspects of our nature that makes us who we are as a species. 

Why would I want to change that? 

Synthesis offers me nothing of worth.

Now, you speak of elitism as if it is a bad, selfish thing when, ultimately, it is simply the belief those who are better informed can make the decisions that are better for society as a whole. Even if I am an elitist, that doesn't mean the well being of my fellow sentients does not drive my choices. I don't choose synthesis out of fear of synthetics, I choose it out of hope and a belief that this technology can be used to improve the life of all sentient beings and not just those who can afford it.

Dunning-Kruger.

You do not face your flaws in Synthesis, you eliminate them. That's a tad bit different than facing them head on in Control or Destroy.

Aye.  It doesn't even get rid of the Reaper threat, which afterall was the whole point in the first place.

One giant negative and no positives of any note.  Synthesis is an utterly nonsense choice to make.

While in Control, you can at least make them put under Shepard's check.

That's right.  Stopping the Reapers was the whole point of the game.  You can do that by placing them under Control or by Destroying them.  But turning them loose and just hoping for the best?  That's about the most irresponsible thing I can imagine.

It's the only that removes the reason for the Reapers to exist. Or so Bioware would have us believe.

Truth is none of them solve anything. This is the result of the ridiculous reason they gave for the Reapers' existence. With Destroy the Reapers are gone but the problem they were created to solve still exists. With Control, the problem still exists, the Reapers still exist, and the only hope is that Shepard will always be able to control them. And with Synthesis the Reapers still exist, organics and synthetics are merged, and the only hope is that this fact will for some reason make them no longer want to kill each other.

Trying to prove one is better than the other in this trainwreck of an ending is a waste of time. If someone is able to make any of them work in their head and make the ending suck less, good for them. We should be happy for them and stop trying to tell them they're wrong and/or evil for choosing what they chose.

Even if that were true, it doesn't remove the threat posed by the Reapers themselves who are very much alive and are now roaming the galaxy.

Destroy eliminates the capacity of the Reapers to threaten others.  Control supposedly limits that threat to Shepards discretion.

Alleged problem.  Alleged.

Well, clearly that isn't the case.  Not only are the old conflicts are still around and now there are thousands of super-warships doing God-knows-what and nothing to stop them.

It may be that no one ending is better.  But one is clearly worse.

As for this being a waste of time... you might be right.

Wacky ideologies and mental gymnastics are not worthy of that sort of respect.

Anyone who chose Synthesis made the wrong choice.  Whether they are evil or not is more than I can say.
