There seem to be lots of things missing or that just plain don't work.
That's not a question. Its a statement. It's an honest mistake to be sure, but maybe its a sign that you should start spending more time thinking about how you might improve yourself and a little less time nitpicking every little detail of any given website.

i enjoyed watching the first guy repeatedly defer his responsibility. 3 times he didnt want to do it anymore and all 3 times he went back and did it.

Such an amazing and unsettling experiment.    



The lines "The experiment requires that you continue."  and "Please continue." are so neutral that it really is astonishing that people tend to obey and keep administering the shocks.

I agree. He didn't really exercise much authority. He just repeated the same exact line. I was waiting for him to say something like "Do it because I said so."

I was also surprised how emotional that researcher got. He looked like he was in pain almost every time they showed up.
