Wait, you get the Stargazer scene if you choose Synthesis, proving that you've won the war (by ending it without further bloodshed or destruction. So, is that a hallucination if you choose Synthesis while the very same Stargazer scene is real if you choose destroy?

Truth be told, I kind of liked the IT when I first heard about it, and I respect all the thought and effort that went into explaining it before the EC was released, but I think it's pretty clear now that the end scenes were not Indoctrination but were, in fact, real.
