>First, let me apologize to Scott Shambaugh. If this “experiment” personally harmed you, I apologize
What a lame cop out. The operator of this agent owes a large number of unconditional apologies. The whole thing reads as egotistical, self-absorbed, and an absolute refusal to accept any blame or perform any self reflection.

Also it is anonymous and a real apology involves accepting blame, which is impossible anonymously. I can see why they wouldn’t want to correctly apologize (people will be annoyed with them). So… that’s it, sometimes we do shitty things and that’s that.

Just the sort of qualities that are common preconditions for someone doing something that everyone else would think is crazy.
Which is to say, on brand.
