I mean, they address that immediately afterward. He even knows they've been coached... he just doesn't know about what.

I do like the idea that some of it was real, and while he was crazy, he was onto certain things. The end shot of the lighthouse can absolutely be interpreted as an implication that they really do lobotomies there. I'd just need to see it again to look for hints as to what might be real, since most of it is obviously a fabrication.
