It’s a trap for skeptics, so they eliminate themselves from the silo before they can cause bigger problems.
Skeptics see cleaners acting like everything’s fine outside and think it’s a signal that the official story is a lie. So they ask to go out themselves, seemingly confirm that they were right, and send the same signal to other skeptics inside.
I'm sure I just need to continue watching, or probably read the book. But it doesn't make sense why the deception is necessary. I'm guessing we're going to learn more about the revolution and why all the knowledge and history was lost as well as why curious people are a bad thing.
That is a bit better explained in the books. I recommend reading them. While the series is good, the books well deliver more content in some ways.
The concept of the fake view is to make sure people clean the lenses and to keep them wanting to be outside, eff killing themselves in front of everyone due to the leaking heat tape. This whole thing serves as an instant dead sentence, forcing people to stay inside and …. in check.
