I agree with you 100%. In reading Bates' book it's obvious John St. Helen/David E. George says things that show he didn't know the specifics of what really went down on April 14, 1865. He tells Bates things that the real Booth would not say, IMO. For example, John St. Helen/David E. George tells Bates that it was Andrew Johnson who arranged for the Grants not to attend the theater with the Lincolns. This is totally false; Johnson had nothing to do with the Grants leaving Washington that evening. John St. Helen/David E. George said he stopped at the Kirkwood House and met with VP Johnson at 3 PM. False. Johnson was at the White House meeting with Abraham Lincoln at that time. Booth didn't meet Johnson at all; rather he left a note that said, "Don't wish to disturb you. Are you at home? J. Wilkes Booth." I feel the real Booth, in trying to convince people he was indeed JWB, would not create stories that were patently false. Rather his stories show he wasn't Booth.
