consumers know pretty much nothing about anything they buy, other than cost, and people telling them that its good or bad.

That's just not true. People know the difference between a good job mowing their lawn or a bad job. In fact, they get to decide that! Tons of consumption goods are that way. As long as you know if you like the pencil, it's a good pencil.

Medical care isn't that way. What's a good comparison consumption good in your opinion?

people don't know a good watch from a bad one, who knows what goes into it? you just get told a rolex is good. who can tell you why its worth thousands more than a $50 seiko watch? and what difference do those differences make?

Same thing with computers. many, many people don't know shit about the quality of the parts in there. they just see bigger numbers and think things are better. can they tell you why? and what the bigger number actually means?
