Huh, now that's interesting

Alongside working my way through Classic Who, I'm rewatching the original (as in 1970s) Battlestar Galactica, if a bit more slowly. I'm just watching the 2nd ep now. Strangely enough, I seem to remember that on one of the special features for the new Battlestar, someone had said that there used to be debate about what was inside the original Cylons. That struck me as odd, as they'd always seemed rather obviously mechanical to me. Sure enough, in this ep, Apollo just explained that the original Cylon race were reptilian, but the machines they had built outlived them and they were still called Cylons. So, um, what's the debate then?
