it's not a myth it simply goes to show that we are more a social body than the individual likes to recognize. i.e., it's a surprise for some to find out that these things happen, but some of us have seen plenty to know different. the desire to be "normal" is extremely powerful, but eccentrics keep society in check. yet they are all part of a whole social amoeba. the normals take care of a lot of things for the common good, provided they are not given the wrong orders. therefore, always verify that the orders they have been given are correct and correctly executed. in the case of this (social) experiment, there seems to have been an artificial elimination of eccentrics at the core of the experiment design. i cannot exactly specify why, but someone should have been able to stand up and say "let's make sure that we take good care of these people after they have assassinated someone in the experiment". from the interview with the old man, it seems they did, as he did not appear in the least traumatized-- on the contrary, he was happy to have made a contribution to science. if the people would have been truly murdered then this would be another story altogether. shit, i start to sound like the police news. anyway, good year to everyone.
