Sorry but I think that's just fluff to send you on a wild goose chase. At this point, it would be weak storytelling to go that route after feeding the masses who want everything to be "You were evil the whole time!" plot twist. It's not really a twist when everyone expect it. Hell it's so common that NOT going that route would be the true twist after sending everyone down that path. A double bluff wouldn't worth ether. It's too obvious.
