Comments

Too ironic "To this day, it is used as a case study in psychology classes to highlight both the psychology of evil as well as the ethics of doing psychological research with human subjects."

should read

"To this day, the thoroughly debunked session is used as a case study in psychology classes to highlight both the psychology of 'publish or perish' as well as the fundamental flaws in the science psychology pretends to have"

But it doesn't, because that would require the field admitting it is deeply flawed

highlight ... the ... ethics of doing psychological research with human subjects

this part is true regardless of the experiment's flaws
