My hope is that having helped Tali with her pilgrimage will bear fruit in ME3. After all, her information was all about Geth evolution over the past hundreds of years. It may very well reveal much of what Legion told you, once they decipher it (which Tali said would take years at the time you gave it to her).
Exactly. Though the information you received on the Geth came from the Heretic Geth, who COULD have evolved differently from that of regular geth. But I would've loved to have Legion explain the war, though I don't think that the Geth are capable of lying, which would've thrown out any form of distrust about the Geth lying. Though if I'm wrong about the lying part, please correct me.
Well, I think that the little tooltip mentioned that the data provided information on the evolution of the Geth since the Quarians left. In this case it would include information about the divide between the Heretics and the Geth collective, as well as information from before that happened. I don't believe that the Heretic split-off was terribly long ago, either -- it would have happened only around the time that Sovereign had contacted Saren, which is probably not too long before the events of ME1.
I might also point out that when you go to the Geth base to gather the data, it specifically mentions a transmission of a Quarian singing being broadcast in from behind the veil. The Heretics split off from the Geth and differentiated from them, but they are probably still the same in many other ways, apparently including a fascination, or even reverence, for their creators . The only real difference, at least at first, was that they worshipped Sovereign.
