Agreed. When I encountered this (and the Milgram experiments) in an undergrad core class in psych, I was so infuriated that my report consisted of a condemnation of this ethical vacuity. Took an F in the class for it. Still think I was right (and I'll be kind & not name the TA who issued the grade).

Right, Milgram experiments too. (This is *so* not my area. I never took even one class.) Ethical vacuity was exactly how the whole field struck me. Mind you, I was only reading popular sources. The way both of these experiments were talked about in the news and pop culture was wrong and damaging.
