Yes, I know, and don't forget the milgram-replication to seek the best subjects... but still, most them would probably not have robbed a bank without the seminar. That the seminar didn't include much hypnosis (it didn't, but there was a fair bit of NLP in the show) is a moot point, the question was if people could be programmed, not if you would need hypnosis to do it.
