Actually, it could have been avoided simply by keeping Sephiroth away from those Mako reactors and any of Hojo's research notes. If they hadn't opted to use Sephiroth as the weapon to win the war against Wutai... if instead he'd been allowed to live a semblance of a normal life, there's absolutely no way he'd have become an ego-maniacal sociopath even on his worst day (at least not without some massive Zack).
Very well put, I think you may have it right here.
