I just didn't buy the impact of the cleaners. Like it's supposed to be a mystery why they choose to go through with it, but we find out they go through with it because a VR helmet convinces them that what they saw through the cameras was a lie when really the VR helmet is a lie. So like...what's the point? If you can make VR helmets, why not build a robot to clean the cameras? If you still need a scary death sentence, just kick people out of the silo and watch them die due to exposure as they clamor to get back inside. The result is the same: outside scary, don't do anything that gets you forced to go outside.
Making a lie to cover up another lie seems like a very roundabout way to solve a lens cleaning issue.
As for the rest of the wool references, puns do not metaphors make.
