1. Milgram hands out 160 envelopes and the target receives 24. I guess not everyone is able to reach everyone else.
2. Milgram gives all 160 envelope recipients the target's name and address. So at what point were the 24 envelopes simply mailed. I would have just mailed it directly.
3. I wouldn't expect more than five of my Facebook friends to lend me money or do me any sort of favor. Exchanging Facebook quips is quite free.
Attention triage prevents me from reading more about this.
