I like it. Shades of the Milgram test:

That’s exactly what I thought, ronmurp! This psych experiment has the potential to lead somewhere very interesting indeed.

In the time she wasted clicking the link you’d think she could Google how to write a perl script to click the link for her.

I’m not sure that “assured” is the right word for what the technician did. Maybe “reiterated” would be better?

But maybe it wasn’t that they needed her to click…but it was tracking something else about her. I like this!
