No, I'm saying that a hybrid baby isn't as such a Big Deal as it was
made out to be.  These Four are apparently of an even more advanced
design as the Seven we already knew of, and I'm sure that the last One
is even more.

My theory is that they are of an ancient design, used to kick-start the
cycle

btw, I'm watching "Tin Man" on DVD, and Callum Keith Rennie's character
there is even more of a psychobastard than Leoben on BSG.
