Mass Effect: Archangel

[Dragonflight]

I've always wondered if maybe, since the Citadel is a Reaper construct, there might be some kind of localized Indoctrination field effect working over whoever is appointed Councilor, so that they tend to dismiss reports of Reapers, even in the face of overwhelming circumstantial evidence. It wouldn't be overt, but you'd have to slap them in the face with incontrovertible evidence to sway them. And their seeming inability to see what others do suggests even solid computer evidence isn't convincing without real, in-person data.
