Maybe; I guess we'll never exactly know when she cogito'd.
Episode 11 I am, with the crazy bookstore, which lets me have some very insane ideas, and which lets me know that Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a hack. Why? Because he totally ignores the existence of symbolic and/or visual thinking. We may need language to communicate; but we don't need it to think. What we need to think is a) an apparatus to think (the brain) and b) some kind of input; the latter can be anything, from memory, to former thoughts, to sentences, to the touch of a fabric. If his philosophy can indeed be summarized by the episode, it has got holes in it to fly the Galactica through.
