Your loyalty to Kaidan is so cute, I'm looking forward to the next episodes and especially ME3, I'm sure all your effort will be worth it. Oh and happy new year.🎉🎉
Off of memory and maybe some educated guesses, the idea is that some of the Geth programs splintered off to follow Sovereign and I guess they took some of the bi-pedal mobile platforms with them when they did so. That faction of them called "heretics" is what you and the rest of the galaxy have actually been interacting with all this time... not the core group of Geth programs that are still "normal". It's not clear who David interacted with in Project Overlord. Kind of frightening if it was the heretics. The way it comes across, the normal Geth may still have never ventured outside of the Perseus Veil after exiling the Quarians from their home, besides of course the one bi-pedal unit (Legion) and its ship to have travelled to the derelict Reaper. They use religious language like "heretics" to describe them because it's said earlier in the trilogy that they revere the Reapers as Gods... the pinnacle of non-organic life, which makes the moniker of "Legion" also appropriate because it's taken from a Bible quote, and it makes using this kind of language to describe and name them beautifully ironic as inorganic machines are like the furthest thing from ideas like religion and beliefs. Brilliant writing, this whole thing.
