Nope, 32. And the fact you didn't get my tongue in cheek jibe confirms my previous point.
On an unrelated point, my young (8) daughter wants to know will you trade some cards with her?

"Biotic abilities are of varying rarity and status in other species:
Asari - All asari are naturally biotic to some degree, and though not all choose to develop their abilities, those who do pursue training usually display formidable ability. They do not require implants to use biotics effectively, nor do they need to undergo special training to acquire conscious neural control; their reproductive physiology grants them this ability from birth. Biotic ability is mandatory for asari who want to go into military service. The most powerful train as asari commandos.
Batarians - There are some known batarian biotics who are trained as shock troopers and sentinels.
Collectors - All Collectors have a latent biotic potential which is activated if the Collector General takes control of their body and mind, transforming them into powerful and dangerous opponents.
Drell - The drell assassin Thane Krios is a biotic. It is unknown how widespread drell biotics are.
Krogan - The few krogan biotics are extremely powerful and often train to become krogan battlemasters like Skarr or Wrex. Before the genophage, biotic krogan who enlisted in the military would rise quickly through the ranks; the other soldiers were in fear and awe of them, so their superiors recognized they would command great respect as officers and promoted them. The krogan developed a surgical procedure that was able to confer biotic ability, but the operation had a high mortality rate, so it was discontinued following the release of the genophage.
Protheans - Javik is a Prothean biotic. It is unknown how widespread Prothean biotics were before their extinction.
Quarians - According to Tali, quarian biotics are very rare. It is speculated that this is due to their life aboard the Migrant Fleet. Element zero is such a rare resource that it is probably too precious to be "spent" on encouraging biotic potential in quarians, and because the quarians live aboard ships, any engine accident severe enough to release dust-form element zero would also be fatal to the crew.
Rachni - Rachni Brood Warriors appear to have some biotic abilities.
Salarians - Salarian biotics are unusual and highly prized. The salarian military does not risk them in the front lines but instead uses them in intelligence services.
Turians - Turian biotics are also uncommon, and generally not much more powerful than a human L3. They are viewed with suspicion by the general turian infantry and tend to be relegated to special units called Cabals, which are employed for key missions.
To date, there has been no mention of the biotic abilities of the hanar, elcor, raloi, volus, vorcha, or yahg or what role (if any) biotics play in their respective societies."
Where is Geth ? Oh, nowhere.
End of a line.

What happens if the geth platform gets overloaded? Suddenly there's a lot of extra current going through the platform, which adds more of an impulse through the eezo nodules. What happens then? You could easily wipe out a geth platoon and lose a battle for your side within a few overloads.
Why take the risk? They obviously don't need any form of biotics, and the biotics they may or may not be able to get are too much of an unknown to even think of trying.
So basically, it doesn't matter whether they can or can't. They aren't going to. Period.

They say there has been no mention of the biotic abilities of the volus. Then we could say "it's possible that volus can be biotics" (and we saw in ME2 that volus can)
But, they just say NOTHING about geth, because it's so obvious that they can't. Period.

Imagine Bioware would now tell us they're able to hover in the air because they've got biotics, I'd love too see the faces of the people saying biotic geth would be breaking the lore

There's absolutely NOTHING suggestining that the Geth can't have biotic powers.

It proves that they're capable of forming kinetic barriers (which, by the way, are the same damn thing as biotic barriers) to a certain degree.

By that reasoning, anything using mass effect fields is biotic. But, if I understand correctly, biotics requires fleshy bits. Otherwise, it's just plain old tech.

That is the exact point I am trying to make. "Biotics" are merely a way for organics to emulate existing mass effect field manipulation technology.
Furthermore, it seemingly disarms the tactical argument against geth "biotics" that you raised, as the geth clearly already run the risk of eezo overloads you raised earlier.
