And when memory failed and written records
were falsified — when that happened, the claim of the Party
to have improved the conditions of human life had got to be
accepted, because there did not exist, and never again could
exist, any standard against which it could be tested.

Word:

improved

Question:

Why does the falsification of written records lead to the acceptance of the Party's claim of improving human life conditions without any standard for testing it?

Answer (optional):

The falsification of written records leads to the acceptance of the Party's claim of improving human life conditions without any standard for testing it because, when memory fails and written records are falsified, there are no facts against which this claim can be tested. Additionally, survivors from the ancient world are incapable of comparing different ages due to their limited vision and focus on trivial details, which means there is no basis or standard for comparison.
