Yup. Even before I knew about the occult stuff, I always wondered about the dead baby cover - it just came out of nowhere. I now believe that these guys were, by and large, useful idiots (Lennon in particular) and actors playing a role. (In other words, for the most part, they showed up to the studio to learn and sing the songs that had already been written and recorded for them.). The Beatles literally came out of nowhere and were a completely fabricated cultural phenomena that was used to popularize rebellion, drug use, anti-Christinanity and all the other canards of the '60's. I always got a kick out of the Eric Idle (of Monty Python) spoof of the Beatles (which George Harrison appeared in) where they were referred to as "The Pre-Fab Four.". How right that was.
