- I keep ignoring this because it makes no sense that they would send
- a replicant cop of physical B to handle replicants rated A. If it
- wasn't for Roy Batty being so close to death that he decided to
- spare Deckard, Deckard would have fallen to his death.
-
- The whole 'Deckard is a replicant' concept is riddled full of such
- inconsistencies. The amount of reading between the lines, twisting
- the meaning of lines, the suspension of logical thought, etc. are
- all required to establish that Deckard is a replicant.
