I understand that, but I think what easwaran was suggesting is that sometimes mythology serves a hidden function of keeping members in line. If he wrote all the stories about Xenu before he had any idea it would turn into a cult, then I think you've got a good argument that the two were unrelated. On the other hand, if he always had that in mind... I don't see why he couldn't have inserted it in there deliberately for the reason easwaran says.
