It's also specifically Arnaud saying that it's id-driven, which makes me think he was just saying that to cover up the fact that he'd created the gland to do specifically that.
I'm pretty sure that [character who hasn't been introduced yet] says so also, and she is a ... well, I was going to say a trustworthy source, but perhaps not entirely -- more so than Arnaud, anyway.
Still, that's a really good point about Arnaud having been instrumental in the design, which means he could quite easily have built in the homicidal-maniac thing as an intentional design choice ... I mean, not just to keep the user under control, but also to make a raving, destructive army for himself. It seems like the sort of thing he might go for. When you're an evil scientist, why stop halfway?
