      that’s a lot of psychology experiments right?

      you make them do this and then watch that

      you misinform them and see what they do with that information

      The milgram experiment wouldn’t work if they told people that they’re not really killing someone or without “lying” they would have really needed to kill someone which is worse.

      There’s also ethics involved like a debriefing after the experiment and the lying or deceptions can’t cause damage etc.
