There is a difference between what something is used as and what something was created as. Bradbury wrote F451 because of book burning and later used it as commentary about mass media. That doesn't change its original intention any more than Top Gear using "Jessica" as its theme song makes it any less a tribute to Dickey Betts' infant daughter Jessica. The difference is that the original intention is immutable and exists independent of the context of the consumer's experience. Anything you choose to add onto it is your personal headcanon.
