I just finished reading Bad Blood and it details how they went to extreme measures to ensure that the FDA never saw their Edison machines like barring entry to the lab on the day of an inspection, putting security guards in front of the door, and lying when asked what was inside.

While the inspector could have pushed the issue, I don't think they 'failed massively'.

The inspector didn’t inspect anything. That’s a massive failure on their part.

How else can you reasonably assess the work of someone titled “inspector” when they fail to “inspect”? Especially when they approve a device they haven’t “inspected” as an “inspector”.

If you see logic in calling them something other than a massive failure then I’d like to understand your thought process.
