Souken also told Uryuu that his desire was for quincies and shinigami to fight side by side. In response to Uryuu asking him if the shinigami were at fault for wiping out the quincies, Souken replied that it was better to work at a way to ensure it never happened again. Well, if one old peacenik, one retired quincy and one novice are all that's left how on earth could the quincy/shinigami war ever happen again for Souken to be so worried about avoiding a repeat of history?
While the rest just seem like interpretation, this part seems the most reasonable. On to the war!
