So, they got a fake robot kid to make her love the psilon guy.

Psylon? No....Cylon.
The cylons from Battlestar Galactica are named after the Cylon of Athens, a nobleman in ancient Greece (632 BC) who tried to overthrow his father-in-law/ruler, Theagenes, who was a tyrant. Cylon and his coup were unsuccesful, and he and his brother had to flee.
It is entirely possible that that little stinker is a cylon, and that this is just another elaborate system of control. I think the love aspect of the mating was in order to bring the cylons closer to God. It seems an underlying need for the cylons to find theological relevance in their quest to be more than their parents. Boomer and Carl "Helo" Agathon were and are in love, which means their child was concieved in love, which makes their daughter a child of God (or some such neoreligous cylon nonesense).
I forgot to ask...who here posts on the Scifi.com battlestar boards? I just joined (14 seconds ago), and I'm curious. Same screen name as tfp or different?
I'll be Willravel as always.
