There was only one example of each of those, and they are open to interpretation. In other words, each equation is supported by a single data point, which isn't sufficient info to come to a conclusion. The broader message is that the black goo and whatever life-forms it spawns has very broad, unpredictable effects that seem to vary from person to person and situation to situation. If you recall, small worms were observed on the floor of the room with the mural and canisters. When exposed to the overflowing goo, the worms apparently turned into at least one snake-like creature that quickly killed the scientists Fifield and Milburn, who were a pair of morons.One possible interpretation of the data points is that the black goo effects people based on their condition, mood and mindset and is therefore a very complex substance that, like a living organism, has its properties subject to highly variable "expression" similar to how organisms show different gene expression during different stages in their development and lifecycle.
There is proof that the engineers were headed back to earth with a ship packed to the gills with the black goo canisters. This was not Shaw's idea, it was originally David's idea which he explained to Shaw. Also Janek (the captain) came to this same conclusion and was so convinced of it he decided to give up his life to stop the one remaining engineer. How quote of Shaw as saying "It's what I choose to believe" is totally unrelated to this issue. The quote was actually from something her father said in a dream at the beginning of the movie, and Shaw indeed repeated it later in the movie. But it's not impressive to use the quote to try to argue against the evidence that the engineers were headed to earth to destroy humanity. The evidence includes the flight plan of the ship that David uncovers, the fact that the ship is stocked to the gills with black goo, the hostility of the one surviving engineer against humans and his priority to take off in his ship and complete his mission. Certainly there is no evidence the ship stocked with black goo is headed anywhere else, other than Earth.
