My wording of “bogus” in the first sentence was careless and wrong, and “faked” in the headline was overstated if not also wrong. There’s little to no reason to think Milgram intended his experiment as anything other than legitimate, honest science. It remains true that he omitted important, results-altering information from his analysis, but people do things for different reasons and with different motivations. Hindsight should be cautious judging a scientist sixty years after the fact for not seeing what we see more clearly now.

And bull frackin' shit. The "scientist" submitted false data to back up a false claim. Period.
We wan't to get over this kind of shit? Stop this kind of shit from happening all the damn time?
Whether Milgrim faked the experiment or not, the results have been proven overwhelming as correct - in the past 2 years, just watching everyone following orders, committing crimes against humanity and children.
This is 100% like whatever justification for the Global Warming, the vax efficiency… « the study needed our commitment to conclude the ethically right way. »

Stop making excuses for the scumbags.

In every case, the only justification has been "because we say so".
Inventing the necessary outcomes as they go, and using the obfuscation power of the machine they operate in order to make it so.
Thank you for the good thread, Fren.
