Well actually in "Hand Of God" there is an indication that Adama has begun to be lullled into the idea that the Cylons are a thing of the past, because the first words we hear from him after the report comes from Apollo, Starbuck and Sheba are, "I thought we'd lost them for good." Adama I think would only arrive at the kind of conclusion you posit concerning the Terrans after some considerable soul-searching, and I think ultimately it's the understanding that Terra is *not* Earth, that for him is the stickler because he is more convinced that the destiny of Colonial Civilization has to lie on Earth itself.
