I think they will end up shooting themselves in the bottom if they

Maybe. The research of Nils Bejerot, Stanley Milgram, and others
portray a complexity in human nature that may be too
multidimensional for such rational optimism.

Aah . . . Stanley Milgram; what a guy! I did a year's basic
Psychology at university too;
several of my firends thought it would be fun to wire the Prof. up
to a Milgram device
and do things for real . . . :)
A little-known factoid, even further off-topic: one of Milgram's
youngest and most vulnerable undergraduate research subjects was
extremely damaged by Milgram's emotionally abusive experiments. He
grew up to become...
... the Unibomber.
Karma.
