Accusing the "regular" people of being powerless is self-serving, condescending and naïve.

Clearly not [;)], and that seems to be the interesting hypothesis - that being hit by a massive enough object might cause significant fragmentation of otherwise uniform crust and get the thing going.
Concerning the (absence of) malfunctions, wasn't that the goddamn job of the FDA in the first place?
As for the remote tinkering, what does the output have to do with the input? Suppose some sort of requests are required to yank the data out. What possibly could be the problem in making the readout plain and setup secure?

brainwash their citizens into aggressively defending their morally bankrupt health care system
So... you say it's not like in "Hope Zion" or "Scrubs" or "Gray's Anatomy" or "House M.D."? Or M*A*S*H?

Cf. Milgram experiment.
we like to at least have some thin veneer of reason behind things...
Because I can should be enough.

Seriously? You really couldn't stick to the rational system, which is metric?
Nevermind, I failed at reading.
