Any story can be interpreted to mean anything. Any arbitrary collection of stories can be interpreted to be consistent with any contrived, but consistent theme. None of this adds to either the credibility of the story, nor notion that the story was contrived by some one with foreknowledged of how the story will be used.
In the end, interpretation mostly reflects on the interpreter. The stories themselves still exhibit zero evidence that they had been contrived by anyone with a greater knowledge of the world than would be expected from any ad hoc committee of bronze age liars who were rather provincial and uneducated even for their primitive and ignorant age.
