A small point perhaps but if someone can get that wrong how can you be sure that other things won't be done incorrectly?

Those 18 pages, well by the time you got through them probably more, are all worth reading. Very interesting discussion. But no the mix-up in Orwell's book has not been mentioned. When I read it the first time, I thought, oh no don't say "Animal Farm" and then he said "1984", and I thought it was a mistake. And maybe it wasn't - the people in
1984 are not treated much better than farm animals. "Big Brother" and censoring of reading material fits with the context. I have to admit that I haven't read
Animal Farm, I did read
1984 though. Is
Animal Farm also about problems with society as in
1984? If so, I might have to put that on my reading list.
