There's also the fact that there was a screening process. They didn't pick people at random, they filtered for people with high suggestibility.
It was pretty amusing to watch that conformity test where they put an applicant in a room with actors pretending to be applicants, where actors would all stand up/sit down at regular intervals, with no explanation.

I participated in an exercise once designed, through rhyme, to get an entire room to say the wrong answer to a basic math problem. I knew I was saying the wrong thing as it was happening, but I couldn’t stop myself. It’s just that there is a difference between that and finding oneself taking a bullet, committing murder, etc.
