Question The Swan Film

Ok, everybody has seen the Marvin Candle Orientation Film for the Swan. People have commented on the strangeness of it, the doctor's arm missing, the strange "incident" that was mentioned and how you are told not to use the computer for anything other than entering the code.
However, what bugs me is he never tells you what the code is. He just says to push the button every 108 minutes. He never tells you to specifically enter THOSE numbers. I just wondered how the original people in the hatch knew what code to use.

That's what I thought, but why tell them the code personally instead of just putting it in the film? Seems kind of odd. Unless they made the film before they decided on what code to use.

He also wanted the lockdown to be initiated, and John to lose faith in the island so it would be found.

Default program the computer to send the code...

If you want someone to save the world from electromagnetic distructive forces, why have a code anyway? Why not just code the computer to send that message every 107 minutes?

Maybe the code was to prevent someone from using the electromagnetic pulse as a weapon? Dr Evil would do that... oh yeah, he was in the bond films...

Isn't the lockdown to prevent the swan's occupants from getting outside and seeing the plane drop the food? or to prevent the electromagnetic pulse to pull down that plane just like Oceanic 815?

Dr. Evil is from Austin Powers, Dr. No is from Dr. No, the first bond film. Maybe the swan presucessors passed it on to their sucessors.
