And ponder on this, as I recall you never see any children in the film either, so maybe all but the very, very wealthy have been replaced by replicants so the workforce of the world is now just robots who's 4 year lifespan is short enough that they expire before gaining awareness and are simply replaced, which is why a rouge like Batty is so dangerous and could bring the whole scheme and what's left of the human race to an end. Even if that's tosh I still prefer Deckard as a replicant...
Except the original release of course where he clearly isn't a replicant.

You misinterpret my post possibly. The commentary in question was referring to pre-production not the various versions since.

Besides both Harrison Ford and author Philip K Dick said he was human.
