Correction, Legion makes that comment in reference to the Heretics who have already been subjected to a virus from Nazara (aka. Sovereign). Legion justifies the overwrite since the alternative is outright destruction and thus the Heretics as they existed would be lost either way. Legion's position is pragmatic given the circumstances of the situation.
Given the nature of Rael's research (i.e. ways to effectively combat Geth) it remains highly questionable whether any of that research would have benign benefits for the Geth. Furthermore, given an almost complete lack of hard data on what Rael was researching any such postulations are nothing more than conjecture and idle speculation.
If the program Rael was working on and which Xen has gleaned bits and pieces of is beneficial to the Geth then let the Geth decide for themselves. Given the Geth's insistence upon making their own future and granting the same right for all sapient species, coupled with their refusal for the most part (the Codex mentions the Heretics are estimated to only account for ca. 5% of the total Geth population) of Sovereigns offer to guide them to their future, there is good reason to suspect the Geth would reject such an offer....And I suspect you did not intend to ask them politely for their accord before proceeding which would likely greatly increase the odds of the Geth turning against such a move.
The Geth also never said that they hadn't improved their programming. Perhaps if the Geth were peacefully approached, shown the potential benefits of whatever research is in question AND given free reign to examine it for themselves then perhaps they might agree to go along with it. There are alot of "if"s in the scenarios you propose and I wouldn't hold my breath on any of them given the limited evidence currently at hand.
The only real information we know about the work Rael did was that in involved a comprehension approach to a mass of networked Geth, so it would have to be something subtle not brute force.
I never said I would force it on the Geth, Xen certainly would though. But what if the data actually did hold value to the Geth, the Geth never said they improved their programming only on interconnecting more of themselves to allocate more resources to higher processes.
I'm trying to view it more along the lines that the Quarians were the ones that made the Geth and they would probably be able to understand Geth fundamental limitations than the Geth would.
The Geth have weird ways of interpretting the galaxy around them. They disagree with Sovernreign and his Heretics but once he's destroyed they send Legion to talk with Shepard about it. It's not like Shepard did anything truly ground breaking, just shot it with guns til it stopped moving and we know the Geth could have easily done that.
For as advanced as the Geth are they don't understand their own impulses.
What if returning the Heretics causes the entire collective to turn? Leaving only Legion as a true Geth, would he then take the data from Xen and impose it to avoid the conclusion of extermination for a second time?
