I am in no way trying to say that this didn\\\'t involve large amounts of death and destruction, or that [[spoiler:destroying the network]] didn\\\'t destroy galactic civilization as we know it.

What I \\\'\\\'am\\\'\\\' saying is that we can\\\'t extrapolate specific damages based of of limited data. Yes, we saw [[spoiler:Normandy crash]], but for all we know that was because it was going at FTL at that moment, and all ships which weren\\\'t are perfectly fine. Maybe it\\\'s because it was so close to the source [[spoiler:the Citadel]] and everything outside the system was fine. Guessing and hypothesizing is all well and good for the discussing, WMG, and Headscratchers pages, but on the main page we have to work with what data we have. We didn\\\'t see [[spoiler:thousands of ships crashing or exploding relays destroying planets]], so we can\\\'t infer that this event caused lots of actual physical damage. All we can infer is that communication and travel is now hamstrung, whicb certainly will result in millions or billions of deaths, but not the same way as \\\"they were blown up.\\\"
