Lynch describes a situation in which a person can be confused to the point of belief, or as he calls it a form of deception. Basically stating that people can be caused to truly believe what is false. This is similarly seen in 1984 as doublethink. This is a very important parallel because it shows how our world could turn into something similar to that of the one in 1984. This is also a reason for why people are so trusting in their government. The discussion at hand may not be one that they know anything of and so they blindly follow their leader, trusting that they will do right by them. As topics of conversation in politics become more complex we could see this happen more often. People will vote for someone based on ideology and blind trust rather than actually weighing the pros and cons of two political campaigns. Furthermore, another example of being confused to the point of deception given by Lynch is not knowing how to tell the difference between what’s true and what’s false. This can also be seen in 1984, as mentioned previously, the Party alters documents to often it’s impossible to know what's what and what to believe as
