How this receipt has changed
In the original Milgram obedience studies, the likelihood of a teacher refusing to administer higher levels of electric shocks increased as the physical distance between the teacher and the learner decreased.
This receipt has not been rewritten since it was published on 04 Oct 2026. Its current version is 1.
Weight is the one the receipt's balance bar uses: every source counts 1, plus a bounded bonus for how often it has been cited, so one famous paper cannot outweigh three dissenting ones (at most 3x a bare source). It is a reading aid built from facts the receipt already stores, not the engine's confidence.
