Are you conceding that people do in fact torture one another, but denying that pedanterrific is one of those people? If not, I completely fail to understand you. If so, on what basis?
People in Milgram experiment didn’t say they would torture people.
Agreed. They did, however, choose to inflict pain, in many cases intolerable pain, on other people. That seems sufficient grounds for me to conclude that they chose to torture people.
Oh, right. Yeah, oughtn’t have implied otherwise. ”… that some people do in fact torture one another, and therefore some people are willing to torture one another, but denying that pendanterrific...” is closer to what I actually wanted to mean.

Apparently irrational belief about people on LW.
(Just in case there’s any confusion: I have never tortured anyone, and don’t plan to.)
