Whether or not Greg created pinchining in response to an interesting and unusual occurence in a game or Runequest is of no particular relevence, interestig though it might be. In _glorantha_ pinchining was already there, had a personal history, and was awakened by Urgh. If your character want to know the truth, go to pinchining and ask what he(she?) thinks happened.
Of course, if you're the GM you can decide that for yourself, but what do you honestly think the answer would be? The GM hass full controll in any game, but you have to be prepared to defend your decisions and accept their consequences. Do you realy want to run a game where the answer to many Divinations is ".... errrr, I don't know, to be honest I don't think I realy existed back then".
