...this may very well be true, but both Boomer and Six's mistakes are ones which *real* human characters could just as easily make or fool themselves into making, and so neither example, imho, is conclusive evidence. That said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it turned out that Cylons "just don't get it" with respect to being human - it's just, at the minute, they're still (pleasingly) ambiguous.
I agree that Boomer's and Six's behavior is well within the realm of human possibility. This also makes me think of Do Androids Dream in that one of the questions that book raises is whether the humans can actually distinguish androids from "schizoid" humans. With the Cylons, it's even more ambiguous because their behavior isn't "schizoid." If anything, it's just slightly "off." But that's a very subjective determination.
