I would have never figured you for an optomist TSQ, j/k. 
To contrast the article though, I believe the fact it was al done virtually to be a detriment to the study. It show's how we intellectually want things to end up, which is hopefull. I think where it falls short of showing the veracity of mob mentality is that virtual choices distance us from the natural hormonal responces and "real" reactions present in an actual society. I think it bodes well for us if we end up like surrogates or the matrix, but in a reality without virtually dealing with life I think we, as a society, need to work on overcoming our biological insticnts and nature. Just my 2 cents.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
