Sometimes people become mentally unbalanced when in severe pain, or
drugged up (or both :-)

East Germans' rights were so well protected that there was a wall in
Berlin with armed guards and booby-traps to prevent people from leaving

Okay, okay, I get yer point, Delirium. The arguments would never end if
this encyclopedia tried to "get to the real truth" of the matter. Which,
of course, is why Larry & Jimbo insisted we write each article from a
Neutral Point of View.
