Be warned, the coming lines are hard to read as you will be fighting against your own biases. IF YOU ARE EASILY IMPRESSED, DO NOT READ FURTHER!
This is some filler to say that there is nothing wrong in being easily impressed and that's your last chance to stop reading. Next paragraph is the rough stuff.
Some German guy did atrocious experiments on humans and it benefited the society... Today "scientist" conflate science with "political correctness" and are eager to invalidate (or more precisely, not validate) the findings. There is a moral and ethical component for it (the guy did torture people for his experiments), but even what can be replicated is often dismissed (mostly the psychological studies which did happen in questionable conditions, but could be replicated with people consent without real damage. One of his finding was that trucks should be equipped with a small source of light to be used right before opening doors, so deported would not try to breach the door. He also premiered the Milgram experiment, he was one of the first to understand how to get total obedience of unwilling people without having to menace them! (Milgram experiment is a setup to replicate those findings, the scenario is more or less ethical -- since someone really believe they are torturing someone else, which is by itself very damaging)
It's an example that from evil, good can be produced. Because to make evil things, he had to do things that the good guy can't do AND it brought benefits good guys could never reap.
It almost sound "apologetic" to that 1940 guy, but that's because you are not reading what is written. You are victime of a bias ^^
So, to be clear, that guy was evil and if you consider why I wrote this and how I describe the experiments, you'll see I despise him.
It's a good exercise to fight against your biases and you should probably save this and read it every month as an exercise if you even though one second that it was an apology to that guy!
