Well put :) I too find their results to be a tad predetermined - everything will be alright, everyone will be fine, they know what they're in for... and you're a bad person for belieiving us seemingly trustworthy folks. Whose 'morals' (if that's the right word) were really put to the test here in the name of science is an open question.

Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
