The Stanford Prison Experiment is a lie?

But the Milgram experiment is one of the world’s most repeated experiments, with multiple teats of its conclusions. Because the conclusions it presented were unexpected at the time, it was picked over extensively to try and refute its conclusions. That hasn’t happened:

Also, I’d be wary of the study linked in the main description. The body text doesn’t live up to the hyperbolic headline, and subsequent studies of the phenomena illustrated in the first prison experiment have already moved the science on from that initial work.

Crass “DEBUNKED” headlines don’t mean that everything that we thought we knew is now uncertain. Constant re-examination of the evidence, and repeated observation of phenomena is how Science works, and it is still does work, regardless of how many people want to see it fail, and use any excuse to kick it over.
