Ermmm... That would sort of fux0r the entire series up if it were not so. Doubting the word of the Theatrical Programs is virtually akin to heathenism in the NGE fan world!! It's like a Fundamentalist Christian saying that the Bible is full of $#it.
But, that aside, I do think the series makes it rather clear what Rei really is; do not forget about the Kaworu/Rei, Adam/Lilith parallelism, either.
And remember that this whole "manufactured" bit is just how someone opted to translate that particular segment of dialogue -- you can't take it completely to heart unless you've negated the possibility of alternate intepretations of the original Japanese. If only I had the Japanese scripts for the TV episodes available...

So spending time in an artificial void in the spinal column of your mom's Evangelion body and having spiritual hallucinations of her is a quality substitute for having good one-on-one parental interaction, eh? Not saying that it
isn't, of course.
I sort of like the idea that Yui herself took Gendou's nut off. She was sort of akin to a god(dess) at that point -- she was fused with the Lance and inside Lilith, why shouldn't she have at least a little bit of say in how Instrumentality plays itself out?
Yui: Ne, Lilith-sama... Mind if I have a word with my Gen-chan, too?
Lilith: Yeah, sure, whatever. Have a blast.
[b]Adam: Don't mind if I join you... I [/b]was
in the guy's hand, after all.
So all three of them use Quantum Magic to have a little chat with Gendou... and, for whatever reason, Yui decides to bite his head off. "Assisted suicide by a lover",
as Faust once put it? Did she do it because that's what Gendou wanted? Or is there more to Yui than we know (which I'm sure there is)?
Ooo, I like your "little theories"... I can't wait! ^o^
