Yeah, if he keeps looking and examining what's wrong with him he will eventually see that there really are five lights. I mean, that's all it takes right? We simply choose what to believe as it's convenient to us?

No . . . I was talking about coming to the right belief, not the convenient one. Not sure where you got that from . . .

And I was talking about how convenient it must be to simply choose to believe something different.

As far as "five lights", I suggest viewing "Chain of Command" from Star Trek: The Next Generation, which has a famous scene that riffs off of Orwell's 1984.
