1) Helo is an original human, so he lacks the spinal silica strand implants, ...2) Sharon, on the other hand, is a human whom the "Cylons" are trying to convince is a Cylon. ...
Both of those make a huge assumption: Cylons are able to "Clone" existing humans, as opposed to creating 12 "brand new" "Clones". I always thought (and of course could be completely wrong... I am not very well versed in the new BSG backstory) that the Cylons created Clones in a labratory, and not based on (for example) an existing tissue sample from a real-live human. If this is the case, then the Cylons would not be able to clone an existing human, and there would be no real human version of Cylons.
Your take is that a real human could be cloned by the Cylons, which means that (perhaps) somewhere there is a real human version of each of the clones (or they're dead). If that's the case, wouldn't it be ironic if one of the identified clones turned up and ended up being human...
I also thought that the clones all had no history... most seemed to come from that planet that had the terrible accident where everyone's family died (Sharon was supposed to come from there). Don't know what that means... either they are "manutactured" off nothing and they were introduced there, or the original humans on which they were based were from there. I don't know one way or the other....
