I am pretty sure that the same test now will bring different results.
Authority in that form was playing a much higher role back in the days then it plays now.
to say it different:
A lot of people today got a much more healthy "problem" with authority because of different environments, parents, social behaviour etc. compared to the second world war generation.

on the other side I am pretty sure there are enough morons out there who like to turn their brain on stand by as soon as some "authority" is telling them what to do.

about the nurse experiment:
I experienced it myself how 3 nurses questioned a lethal kalium dosis from a doctor. the doc himself was working for around 36 hours and just set the comma wrong. I think it was 70mg instead of 7,0 mg or something. if the nurses would just have done what the doctor said, they would have killed the guy.

I think it highly depends who, where and under what circumstances.
A good nurse isnt a nurse who just take orders.

Bad things happen as soon as somebody doesnt think about what he does.
