Miralatriarch What do you think would happen if the asari turned around to the rest of the galaxy and said "hey, look, we had this thing all along, silly us"? It would, in one move, turn the civilised galaxy against us - the political equivalent of walking through the den of a [TRANSLATION ERROR: did you mean "hamster"?] holding a [TRANSLATION ERROR: did you mean "beetroot"?]. Like any lie, it festered with time until the higher-ups were forced to maintain it to keep the peace.
Oh, please. There's a simple answer to that called "demonizing the people who made that decision." So long as you have a scapegoat to pin your troubles on, you have an easy way to deflect criticism. Shrell, you could have modeled yourselves as enlightened saints, "atoning for the sins of your ancestors," if you played your cards right.

 Miralatriarch Just because I'm likely far older than you doesn't mean I know better. |
I can't argue with that, Mr Emon. My assessment was, admittedly, rather optimistic - it's far more likely that they were remaining true to the old adage of "all those with power fear to lose it". Such "wise" and "experienced" leaders really should have known better - but then again, age is a poor measure of wisdom. A foolish asari who makes it to the matriarch stage merely becomes an old fool.
