Microblog #37, "Obedience to Authority, Chapters 9-14"

Summary
The second half of Milgram's book is an exposition on his theories as to why he got the results he did. This is of course the logical conclusion to the first half, where he explained the results.

Discussion
You know, to closed this book with "To focus only on the Nazis...is to miss the point entirely" is a pretty bold statement for a guy who talked about them so much. I also challenge the validity of his conclusions, since I still feel my previous objections to the experiment's validity hold.
