That holds together as an explanation, until you realize what you could do with even a cursory examination. You start by carbon dating the components. You might get some components that are *only* a few thousand years old, but you're going to start realizing that a substantial percentage of the vehicle is several million years old, if not older.
Once you have that as a starting point, the most logical framework to operate from is that this ship somehow influenced Geth technology over the last few centuries. Even if you assume the ship is unique and the Geth aren't actually worshiping a sentient warship, you've still got to deal with the fact that they have had access to technology which predates all Council races by eons. And there's no guarantee they don't have *more* of these things stashed in a corner somewhere.
Once you have that, the next step is to start analyzing tech. Add to that the fact that Sovereign was clearly demonstrating self-awareness, and the dead-but-still-functioning Saren showed far more intelligence, and raw hatred than any mere Husk ever had in the past, and there's enough circumstantial evidence to at the very least mount a first-rate scientific study of what you collected, and start being cautiously very concerned about the origin of the giant spaceship. Even if the Council put on a public "It was all a Geth attack" face, the Spectres would be told the truth, and told to head out and start collecting more data. It's the cautiously pragmatic approach, and the Council's inability to do that is what makes me go "BWAH?"

Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.
