I apologize ahead of time if this counts as being against the forum policy,, but I do think I make a valid point, and like I said I dont wan't it to just become buried in the other post.
Here was my response:
Just to let you know I haven't read anybody else's post to this topic, but I'm gonna just throw this out there.
Let's say you're Ridley Scott, and you are prepping Fassbender to play the part of the 1st series of android that is to appear in the timeline of the Prometheus/Alien franchise.
So now you're Ridley and you're telling him, the David androids are the FIRST series of androids in this universe I created, (and if you guys recall) Ash comes next and Bishop after and so on...and they all become more advanced IN THAT ORDER...
SO: The David series, although portrayed greatly by Fassbender, are to be replaced in the future by Ash and company, so that tells me, the David androids are far from being the perfected android that Weyland had envisioned.
Now to get to my point!!! Where am I going with this?
You're Ridley and you know you have a terrific actor in Fassbender, so you lay down the ground rules (the Davids are the first series of android)
So now you say "Okay, Micheal (Fassbender), here is your line with Charlize (Vickers) she asks you this this and this, and you reply "this" BUT feel free to improvise at any point.
So here comes Fassbender, saying his line, and (remembering that the Davids are the first series, and therefore must be very flawed, he throws the line out there of 36 hours.
Guess what?
It's a hit with the director and therefore stays in the final cut of the movie.
There is your answer to it "not being in the script, but yes it was supposed to be in the movie."
Pure act of improvisation on the part of Michael Fassbender!
Tah da!!!
Dont believe me? Then check out these movie scenes that weren't in the movies script, but turned out to make them world famous for generations to come...

And I believe you guys are missing the fact that this being an error has STILL not been confirmed if you read the quote:
“In candor, I didn’t write that line. I presume it’s an error on the page or on the day. Ask Damon.”
And they are also hinting at the point that the Davids are flawed with this quote:
"Robots have been showing off with this trick as long as there have been robots…”
I STILL don't see anywhere where there is PROOF, that JUST BECAUSE the line wasn't scripted, that it was never meant to be in the movie....
