Why would it lie? No, seriously. Why?
I don't know, why do Reapers do anything? Sovereign made a pretty good case for their motives being beyond comprehension. That alone is enough to cast doubt on anything any Reaper ever says, forever, because you can never expect it to be grounded in common rationality.
Ah, you hold to the "Everything Sovereign says is the literal truth and everything afterwards is crap writing and attempts at retcons, so stuff the Starchild" camp.
Given that, there's nothing I could ever possibly say to convince you that the Starchild has literally zero reason to lie to you, so I will simply stop trying.
Good day.
No, I hold to an IC point of view for Shepard. You seem to be confusing IC with OOC arguments a lot. Shepard doesn't know anything about bad writing. She just experiences her life as genuine. I am only arguing this case from her point of view.
She meets a Reaper on Virmire who literaly tells her that everything they do is beyond her comprehension, and doesn't even bother explaining why. Then he flies off and starts killing the galaxy before being defeated.
Later she meets Harbinger who seems to have developed an obsession for mankind without ever making clear why, and this same Harbinger then shoots at her when she tries to run to the teleporter in London. All he seems to want is humanity, and her specifically, dead. She doesn't know why, she's never told.
She also meets the Rannoch Reaper, who reinforces what Sovereign told her on Virmire. She kills him. Conventionally.
Then the Reaper Overlord. Given her experience with Reapers, this one would suddenly have comprehensible reasons for its deeds... why again? Shepard cannot trust anything it says because she doesn't know why it says anything. Reapers are incomprehensible. Reapers cannot be understood or reasoned with. Combine this with the Crucible being a dud, and you have one big massive cluster**** that Shepard has plenty cause to be suspicious about. If one lesson has governed her life so far it's this: don't argue with Reapers, just kill them.
That's what she chooses in refusal.
