I suppose you could argue that if a Cylon was worrried about having his/her glowie spine discovered, this anxiety might prevent said Cylon from reaching a state of arousal that would cause the spine to glow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Also, is it just me, or are cylons totally obsessed with (procreative) sex? So, like, if that's your big thing, how about you design your gigantic give-away clue around something else, like a psychotic reaction to checkers, or maniacal love of industrial music? Come on you cylon designer people -- be creative!
