Calling out bullshit doesn't work if you disappear soon afterwards. The beauty of a police state. Even better, people would assume you committed a thought-crime and technically, you DID. Thus other people would not care that you are vaporised.

Remember, I described this as a Theocracy. When people see a flaw in something infallible, they just assume "the Sibyl system works in mysterious ways."
