Hi Pistol,

I would encourage you to read Hawass other papers on the Satellite Pyramid before coming to that conclusion:

Hawass, Zahi. "The Discovery of the Satellite Pyramid of Khufu (GI-d)." In Peter Der Manuelian, ed. Studies in Honor of William Kelly Simpson 1. Boston: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 1996, pp. 379-398. Accessed from: [giza.fas.harvard.edu]

Hawass, Zahi. "The Satellite Pyramid of Khufu." In Hawass, Zahi, ed. The Treasures of the Pyramids. Italy: White Star, 2003, pp. 150-151. Accessed from:
