I'd guess he reasoned out the probabilities based on the evidence available to him at the time, and concluded that the probability of benefit outweighed the probability of harm. Of course, he might have decided that he already knew everything already -- plenty of people take that approach.
Manufacturing consent would be the phrase to look for ... and of course your reference regarding this same HUMAN MIND - Chomsky - is just further proof - I never intended to deny but actually pointing it out wherever deeming it appropriate - that EVERY HUMAN MIND can become possessed by THE DARKNESS OF PRIDE ARROGANCE AND HUBRIS and the more "gifted" with INTELLECTUAL POWER - not to be confused with INTELLIGENCE~WISDOM - the more likely the chances that DARKNESS takes over given the relevant moral and worldly circumstances .... which doesn't say anything about THE INDIVIDUAL at all but simply about THE MECHANISM/DYNAMICS between THE TRUTH vs THE LIE EVERY HUMAN MIND is subject to!
