You really didn't need to prattle on so much... I would have settled for these...

"He could feel the old man wisdom, the accumulation out of the experiences from countless possible lives. Something seemed to chuckle and rub its hands within him. And Paul thought: how little the universe knows about the nature of real cruelty!"

and

"Paul strained, hearing the silent screams in his mind, his cell stamped ancestors demanding that he use the secret word to slow Feyd-Rautha, to save himself.
'I will not say it!' Paul gasped.

Those two quotes alone prove the existence of Paul's Other Memory.

But I will disagree with your theory Frank got more infatuated with OM therefore gave us more detail.

Franks intention from the start was a trilogy, a bridge, and a trilogy. 7 books on the subject of Dune. With 7 books to write you do not give away all your secrets in the first book.

He gave us a taste in Dune, and kept us reading to where we are the obsessed fans we've become.

Many things were drawn out in explanation.
- Other Memory
- Axoltl Tanks
- Worm cycle

I believe he always knew how it worked, just slowly let us in.

But I do believe you have successfully proved Other Memory for Paul.
