A third of a half who were believers.

So of the entire populace of Milligram participants, 16.5% believed and obeyed.

That's a much, much smaller claim than the popular belief of what Milligram presented.

However, it's still possible that you only need ~16.5% to believe & obey authority for things like the Nazi death camps to occur.
