Point is still the motives are confirmed. The way it achieves the motives may be unclear but point of creating an AI to stop organics from creating an AI which in turn will kill any organics is confirmed. An AI, especially an alien AI does not rely on any of our values and morals. This is a big point as most argue from a human standpoint. Even between humans such standpoints have great variety to the point where you can't even understand other peoples customs which are based on their way of thinking.
Pre EC the guardian made perfect sense, even if it is lying you still have to have doubt, because if you don't and say "sure it's indoctrination" you can make lots bad decisions because of it, even denying the Geth their existence and therefor prove the Reapers point.
Fair enough - but as far as I see it, confirmation of the existence of the AI and confirmation of it's motives does not actually preclude the existence of IT.
And arguing the Catalyst from a human standpoint is fine. Too many people appear to lose sight of the immediate crisis when faced with the Catalyst's "bigger picture". We're fighting for our friends, allies, and the races of this cycle - not for some pie-in-the-sky hypothesis created by a mass-murdering AI which executed it's own creators.
The technological singularity posited by the AI - and the inevitable synthetic/organic feud confirmed by the Leviathan - may in fact be the future fate of the galaxy. But becoming preoccupied by that distracts us from our
current fate - harvesting and extinction.
And of course, the Levithan confirmed that they ruled the galaxy via enthrallment, and that the AI and it's Reaper understudies perfected the technique as indoctrination. No stretch of the imagination is required to believe that the AI may attempt to influence Shepard using all the tools at it's disposal...
