They lifted the title from a book by Alan E Nourse (not Alan Dean Foster), and actually had to pay off William Burroughs, who'd published a film treatment based on the novel for the title as well.
I think you're being overly harsh on DADOES, but you're right that the book as written wouldn't have worked as a thriller, and the changes Ridley Scott made work brilliantly with the material. Supposedly Dick saw a rough cut shortly before he passed, and was very impressed...
