Supahbadmarine, like I've already said, the whole psychic abilities scale is being continuously debated, even by the codex writers. I'm not sure how long you've played the game, but Beta is NOT the second highest level on the assignment, it is in this order, making Beta the second highest:

Alpha Plus (Highest)

Alpha (Second Highest)

Beta (Third to highest

Gamma (Fourth to highest)

Delta (second to lowest)

Epsilon (lowest)

Gideon Ravenor, by the way, was also from a Novel, so therefore, if I can't base anything on the novels, nether can you. Gideon Ravenor also, was born in the Alpha level, but his powers were downgraded to Gamma. Most information on Lexicanum and this Wikia on specific, non-vital characters come from Novels anyhow, and most information on the Horus Heresy/Great Crusade/Primarchs come from the Novels, so no, the novels aren't "poppycock".
