Right, but the only reason they didn't wipe out the quarians was because they didn't know what would happen. Not because they felt sorry for them or because they wanted peace.
Dunno why you're using this against the Geth. This is basically the same reason the Quarians wanted to destroy all the new robot AIs.
I'm using against both of them. Neither side really gets much sympathy from me. The Quarians were the aggressors, correct, but the only thing stopping the Geth killing all Quarians was uncertainty then the Geth aren't exactly getting brownie points from me.
Well, to be fair, their uncertainty isn't necessarily a strike against them. The fact that they actually wanted to weigh the implications of the actions instead of just wiping them out is pretty admirable. A lack of emotion from a still developing AI isn't problematic.
And they probably would not have destroyed them anyway because if they believed wiping out the quarians was the best choice, then they would have hunted them down.
Let's keep in mind, though, that the Geth act on consensus. It's entirely possible half the geth believed killing the quarians would be a positive effect, and the other half believed it would be negative. Or 33.3% positive, 33.3% negative, and 33.3% neutral in another case. Remember, during Legion's loyalty mission he had to turn to you for what to do with the Heretics, and was unable to form his own consensus.
It's kinda like our congress!
