The third part of Orwell’s original formulation is “ignorance is strength” which is not a pair of opposites either. “Weakness is strength” or “ignorance is wisdom” would be more accurate pairings.

Ah yes. I forgot the 3rd part. That does rather change things.

Also - what a great bit of writing - setting up a clear pattern and then breaking the pattern. Much more effective than it would have been otherwise.
