:::::In "Precipice" they take a vote about cracking down in the insurgency. Every model present says "'''We''' agree", and at one point Caprica-Six says to another Six "Most of us do, anyway". So it isn't unanimous there. As they are individuals with sometimes different views, that probably isn't practical either. For me, the issue is that Boomer votes against her model line. More Eights votes against reconfiguration, but she - as the apparent spokesperson - says yes. Though why they don't just use the total vote if they know it, isn't that clear with this interpretation, but that Boomer's vote would supersede all the other Eights' votes doesn't make sense either. Unless she somehow has the power to speak for all Eights. And that's also what we have noted on [[Precipice#Analysis]] -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 22:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC) | :::::In "Precipice" they take a vote about cracking down in the insurgency.

:What we have seen over the course of the show is the gradual breakup of Cylon society, owing largly to the human influence upon them. To me the line "Consensus always used to be so easy" (I forget the episode) implies that disputes and divisions were rare (possibly non-existent). "There's no law, there's no edict" to me implies that the Cylons, believing themselves to be without sin, hadn't constructed a social system that could adequately deal with such disputes. In particular the boxing of D'Anna made a system which was just about tenable into one that [[Cylon Civil War|fails absolutely]]. My suspicion is that there's no written law that says that Boomer could or could not do what she did, but it was sufficient for Cavil to cynically claim a majority, morally justified or not.
