"Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version" (41).
This society is really backwards. In our lives, statistics re a necessary factor while these people get rid of it. Winston describes that even the real statistic (before being rectified) is a fantasy. How is that possible? It's possible because it will be erased as if it never existed. If there is no evidence, then as far as anybody is concerned, the rectified version was never rectified. The fact that Winston acknowledges this makes me think he's probably the only person in this society that uses his brain.
