Judith Kleinfeid suggested that Milgram may have intentionally placed the desk in the small world phenomenon experiment to create a sense of hierarchy and authority, much like in his famous obedience studies. This could have influenced the participants' behavior and perceptions within the small world scenario.

Stanley Milgram's original small-world experiment on six degrees of separation had a good design for examining social networks and the connectedness of people. However, the study has faced criticisms over the accuracy of its findings due to methodological limitations and potential biases in participant selection. Despite these limitations, the experiment was groundbreaking in highlighting the concept of the small-world phenomenon in social networks.
