i think the idea that their main purpose was the eradication of mankind is more likely than the eradication of chaos. given the intelligence and knowledge possessed by the cabal it seems improbable, at best, that they would think wiping out humanity would do the same for chaos - all but one chaos god existed before humans did, so where do they get the idea that humans are the root cause of chaos?

it might also be that with their level of intelligence and knowledge comes, the almost obligatory, arrogance to such a degree that it's blinded them to the truth (which is something almost every species is guilty of).
