Brother,
Nice job. I do disagree with your assessment that the President is superior to Adama in every way. Adama, as I see it, posesses much greater wisdom. When he told the story of Earth, he did so to give people hope. The President could not see the forest from the trees until Adama explained it to her. Also, the story of Earth being a "lie" is itself a lie to viewers. We are on Earth, and we are real. In my opinion, Adama had two choices; enter into an argument over the validity of "the truth", or create a false conspiracy with the President to gain her absolute support for a "myth" that would bind the remaining elements of humanity together with hope. He chose to be intellectually dishonest for the sake of humanity. To me, that is wisdom.
