Because calling Davey 100% artifical sounds better, even if it's not the
case. This isn't about accuracy, this is about truthiness!

Sheesh.
If you're going to be precise, you should be accurate too.
Since you don't actually mean "100%", don't say it. It has a specific
meaning.
Saying "Well, if you're *anal*, then sure it's wrong" doesn't actually get
you anywhere - just fix it! Didn't you post this in order to get advice?
Then why protest when you get a valid criticism?

A comment:
2343: I think the word you're looking for is "experiencing".
And a couple questions:
2312: If Davey is 100% artificial, why does he have a human's brain
running the show? Is that artificial, too?
2347: How can a clone be a different gender from the original? I don't
think I was napping *that* much during my genetics classes. :)
