It\'s textbook DisproportionateRetribution, because the geth didn\'t only kill those responsible for the decision, they killed \'\'everyone\'\', period. Is it proportionate if, in response to a guy trying to murder me and my family, I kill him then proceed to track down and murder anyone related to him? For anyone doubting this, aside from basic logic, we have several in-universe statements telling us that the geth did this, including Tali in MassEffect1 and Anderson on page 116 of Mass Effect: Revelations, where he describes the Morning War as a \

It\\\'s textbook DisproportionateRetribution, because the geth didn\\\'t only kill those responsible for the decision, they killed \\\'\\\'everyone\\\'\\\', period.

For anyone doubting this, aside from basic logic, we have several in-universe statements telling us that the geth did this, including Tali in MassEffect1 and Anderson on page 116 of Mass Effect: Revelations, where he describes the Morning War as a \\\"genocide\\\" that the quarians \\\"had neither the number nor the ability to stand against\\\", and goes on to say that \\\"only a few million survivors- less than 1% of the population- managed to escape the genocide\\\". This is never contradicted anywhere and fits everything else we know about the war, like chemical/biological weapons being used by the geth on Rannoch.

And no, we don\\\'t \\\"know for sure\\\" anything Shaoken listed. We know that\\\'s what the \\\'\\\'\\\'geth\\\'\\\'\\\' \\\'\\\'told us\\\'\\\'. I find it rather funny that quarian accounts can be dismissed as \\\"bias\\\" while the geth are taken 100% at their word, when the geth are the only ones who have actually outright lied to us, via Legion.
