I suppose?

Misdirection is a common tactic for Magicians and Conmen. Give them something to focus on, and that will keep them distracted from what they should be paying attention to.

Therefore, it could be that Eto has created the myth of the OEK to further keep people looking in the wrong direction. It also neatly creates someone for Aogiri to believe in, because like the King Arthur myth, it creates a Larger Than Life figure for the followers to believe in.
