In this light, how about we consider this:

1) Archer makes his own point about poetic expressions from Kaworu.
2) Reichu says that is against a non-existant statement from M that he speaks 
scientifically.
3) Oscar remarks the twist of concepts.

The quality of my grasp of English may be then brought up by whoever feels I did 
not get the point as it was meant, however from what I can tell:
4) Reichu apparently acknowledges the twist attempt, save for the fact that she 
disregards completely the part of Archer's post about how scientific speech was 
not in the point, which to me seems like "take 2" ought to refer to another twist 
of concepts, because what she stated by that was the same as in her previous 
post.

So...does it come as an accepted fact that "haha" is a term of much broader 
spectrum of meanings and uses than "mother", or not? If it does, then it would 
seem that the main pillar of support for the female theory is unsound. If it does 
not, then we haven't seen enough semantic references to support the case, 
especially in the face of the visible-to-all facts in the series suggesting that, 
if a gender/sex must be attributed (on some levels) to Adam, then it should be 
male.

Personally, I think this is as good as any other piece of idle speculation that 
Eva may prompt or have prompted in the past, it's something one can entertain 
oneself if one wishes so, but I'm having a hard time seeing a place for it in the 
context of determining and describing the most important concepts that this show 
revolves around. This does not mean in any way that it shouldn't be discussed, 
only that it most likely won't make it in the top-10 memorable discussions in 
this list.
