the Cylons are very young and represent a wide range of human behaviours.
he's denying her personhood in exactly the same way she did
In their youth they are still quite primal. Denying the Kara's personhood goes beyond Leobuck. In ordering the execution they don't see them as people but as things. At any moment, they could go back to the original plan and kill them all. Cavil's suggestion that reducing the human numbers to make them more manageable is scary.
Human's are things, pets even, and some of us Leoben really love our pets.
I totally love this show too, as well as this conversation.
