Mass Effect 3 - 13: Bet you could really go for a bottle of cool, refreshing Tupari!

I mean, half your argument is based on the idea that somehow, an AI who's never been seen will show up and screw everything over irreparably, and can not be stopped or changed.

That's not his argument, it's Starkid's. I think for all our disagreements over the ending, we all agree that Starkid is a moron.

To be frank, who even cares if war is inevitable? Organics war against each other all the time and you don't see the Reapers caring about that. On a long enough time scale you are going to have all types of war. Organic vs organic, synthetic vs organic, even synthetic vs synthetic. It doesn't justify trying to drive the participants to extinction in some flawed attempt to "protect" them.
