Yes, this point you raise is another problem with the whole Terra trilogy arc. In "Experiment In Terra" there's suddenly this whole aura of secrecy Apollo has to maintain regarding where he comes from and what his people are capable of doing, but in the previous two episodes a crack Alliance team that has made good their escape ultimately essentially knows all the basic details of the Galactica as well as the Human-Cylon conflict (which Baltar would have to have filled them in on).

What didn't help of course was Lloyd Bochner not appearing in "Experiment In Terra" to lend some closure to this. In fact, EIT went out of its way to avoid showing an interior shot where Bochner would have been visible at episode's beginning since that would have necessitated paying him for another episode no doubt!
