1.You do understand that those narrative requirments are not set in stone and the write can apply it anyway they want as long as the result is fine.
I don't need to see EDi go on to the normady to see that she did. If she is on the ground at one point that much lateron seen on the normady...with all the capability the normady has I can see how that happen. A story doesnot need to tell everything, just the background to allow it to happen. A thing smudboy doesnot get which many people have brought up to him.
Example: The movie inception takes it's time to explain the details and background of it's dream tech....In the end of the movies, we are never told if it's a dream or not...It's left yo use to decide if it's real or not.
Provided the sequence of events derives of logical probability, then the narrative may gloss over certain portions. The Normandy disengaging from direct conflict with the Reaper armada, arriving within seconds all whilst Harbinger floats by idling allowing it to evac your squad, is neither probable nor logical. Therefore, suspension of belief is broken and the scene becomes contrived.
No, the story does not have to explain everything. It must, however, maintain consistency.
2. As I said before, that is an issue with harbinger not firing on the normady.
And you have yet to refute why he wouldn't shoot it.
3.The problem here is that you think this is being objective. You missing the fact here that not as many people are bothered by it. Which makes it a case of preferance.
A person's preference does not determine the quality of literature. I need only mention Twilight to proof that. By your claim, Twilight cannot be faulted for the innumerable examples of poor writing it boosts. In fact, no written work in existence could be criticised. Incidentally, this results in everything being forced into neutrality. We cannot have good without bad, as they are necessary opposing elements.
Fortunately, this is not the case as we have established rules to determine how literacy work is judged. Plot holes, contrivances and Deus Ex Machinas are examples of what is considered poor writing. The more blatant, the less willing we are to suspend our disbelief.
By applying these rules, I am able to make an objective analysis. Unless, you truly believe in the aforementioned neutrality. In which case, I cannot help you.

It's unknown where was Normandy exactly when called for evac in both scenes. It could be not too far away in the Earth atmosphere in both cases. There is nothing illogical in that.
Considering Ashley/Kaidan was able to board the Normandy following the Reaper invasion. We can determine it was relatively close to Vancouver. Whereas, the evac scene situates the Normandy on the outskirts of Earth's atmosphere. This equates to several thousand miles of distance, yet the latter inexplicably happens faster.
As I said, Normandy passed too close to debris with hidden collector fighters, which got the visual contact. After that each collector vessel was informed about the Normandy. There was no massive battle around. It was not too hard to track one ship in open space, when they already knew about the ship presence.
What relevance does this have to what I asked you? I asked for evidence regarding your theory about the IFF. As it stands, you seem to be inventing a narrative that does not exist.

About Destoryers. Warm-up and aim a gun to shoot a target which is 100 meters infront of you? This makes no sense. Several random shots at least have a chance to hit someone. And what if perfectly aimed shot will miss, because target evaded it? Each second of warming-up and aiming was just wasted for nothing in that case.
EDIT: And Harbinger was in hurry in "final run" scene. It had no time for precision shots.
Reapers fire at a fraction of the speed of light. We clearly witness Harbinger doing this in frequent succession during the downward spirit. In fact, after the Normandy evac scene. He fires three additional shots, thus he had the capability. I'll even go you one better. Harbinger hits Shepard with... precision accuracy!
So either Harbinger is an absolute moron, couldn't shoot water while above the ocean or blind. By the way, claiming he was simply lucky, only proves the scene is contrived, defending your entire argument.
