Like Yoda said. Quicker. Easier. More SEDUCTIVE. If your perspective on the Universe is one of seperation, Ego, conflict and the desire for POWER....then that philosophy has is appeal. If your perspective on the Universe is one of connection, Unity, coooperation and CREATION...then that philosophy is HOPELESSLY lost. Both are powerful. Just powerful in different ways to different ends. Any quest for power over others ultimately sows the seeds of its own destruction. Oryx has been successful because he has largely been able to pick off other species one at a time...and before they realize the threat that he and his allies represent. He did not have that advantage this time...and his intended victims (more or less) cooperated in assuring his downfall. Though the Cabal were not really a WILLING participant. Their actions (in securing a beachead and keeping the Hive aboard the Dreadnaugh occupied and divided, was just as key to our victory as the sacrifice the Awoken made in stopping his fleet at Saturn.
