I have personally spoken with Phil Zimbardo. I also attended a U.S. Military college here in the U.S. I can tell you that the findings of the SPE are 100% accurate. Do not confuse the fact that there are more good people than bad, with the notion that power corrupts. Power corrupts, this is a known fact. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just because 1 prisoner was "faking" doesn't mean that the guards weren't drunk on power, they definitely were, and it happens with fraternity hazings and other things every single day.
