Hubbard, hardly ever just a bit crazy, had to take it over the top and paint this epic battle over the "evil psychs" dating back millions of years — shout out to Xenu here — and taking place throughout the universe. You really do have to be totally brainwashed or crazy to believe any of this fantasy from a science fiction writer.
