The point isn’t that Barry George made a scene at HAFAD in order to create an alibi. It’s that he made a scene at HAFAD because making a scene is what Barry George usually did, wherever he went.
Later, when it dawned on him that he might become a suspect, he (understandably) wanted to know exactly what time he was at HAFAD. As he did then become a suspect, I’d say this was quite prescient. I didn’t say it was deliberately prescient.
Of course, when police finally got around to interviewing George and asked him where he was on the day of the murder, what did he initially tell them? ‘I was at home alone all morning.’ Literally the worst alibi in the book. The sort of thing only a bonafide idiot like Barry George would pick.
