They also did the same experiment using a puppy that they actualy shocked in full view of the person pushing the button.
In the experiment there was also no threat whatsoever to the person pushing the button. They could have simply told the authority figure “no i will not push the button” and walked out. However the majority of the people just pushed it because they were told to do so by an authority figure.
The conclusion that was reached was that even good people will generaly do somthing that they feel is wrong if told to do so by an authority figure.
