Yeah, but Shepard could still be concidered indoctrinated if someone really wanted to think so, and though it wouldn't be canon it's still playing with game lore in mind. Thinking "oh well they were just rushed or lazy" takes the fun (if you still have that at this point) out of the game, and is more of a fourth wall breaking experience. We all know a real 4th wall experience would have more renegade Shepard and fewer teeth in the mouths of some developers.
