- Yes, I *was* wondering about that....some of my professors had told me that
- they thought the prisoner's dilemma paradigm was boring and a waste of
- participants' time, but I hardly thought that would qualify it as
- unethical, though I guess one could make the argument that subjecting
- someone to a boring experience willfully in exchange for course credit
- could be unethical---but that would derail the teaching careers of some
- *very* prestigious individuals, so I'm not holding my breath! :-)
