Sometimes it seems like the entire Snowden debate is ultimately reducible to one's belief about this. In a phrase, one's belief that given N people with power P, q will eventually abuse it.
I think that as N grows, the probability that q >= 1 approaches 1. It strikes me as a self-evident feature of human nature.

Given the infamous Stanford prison experiment and now this, I wouldn't classify it as 'definitive' but the correlation is well demonstrated.
