Personality Responsibility for Behavior

If all "studies" are skewed by their controllers, how do you explain experiments where there is a wide disparity between the hypothesis and results? Take the Milgram experiment cited earlier: Milgram polled the Yale psychology faculty and senoir students for the expected percentage of participants who would continue to cooperate with the experiment after the voltage reached the percieved danger level. The consensus was extremely low, around %1-2. The results of the first study were %65. Subsequent studies performed by other experimenters with wide variations on the conditions produced similar results.
