I think you might be misinterpreting that. I always understood it to mean that when the two hemispheres can't communicate, they'll make things up about their unknowable motivations to basically keep consciousness in a sane state (avoiding a kernel panic?). I don't think it's clear that this happens when both hemispheres are able to communicate properly. At least, I don't think you can imply that this special case is applicable all the time.
