Even so, that wouldn't present a problem with the logic at all...it would
only place him in a similar category as Sean Young's character. Note the
scenes where Deckard is asked if he himself has ever taken the test. The
movie inverts the theme of the book to arrive at a similar conclusion; the
book illumines the difference between humanity and androids while the movie
plays on the commonality. In the former, Deckard discovers his humanity via
the difference - in the latter, he arrives there through the commonality.
Phillip K. Dick, who at first did not like the movie at all, later came to
this appreciation of the film.
Ridley Scott has also stated that in "Blade Runner", Deckard was
indeed and android. One of the edited scenes of the film features Deckard
cutting himself and finding gears. There are 3 main cuts of "Blade Runner"
and probably 7 versions of it floating around.
