So you are excluding the power of diplomacy and oratory in favour of the Tau's psychic powers? Note that it is only one of the many theories of the Imperials on how they think the Tau Ethereal Caste control their Empire. You are basically explaining your own theory by relying on another theory, which is not a very strong foundation.

The Ethereals may have psykers does not proof anything, it is just a theory or an assumption athat best.

Your theory lacks some evidence since the Primarchs came to reality long before the Tau Empire was established. The Tau began discovering fire only in the 35 Millennium (the same millennia in which they were discovered), that is not a specie that you can establish any kind of strong connection.
