But that's more for one person or a group of people - hostages, Patty Hearst, that kind of thing. Elph is talking - so far as I can see - about a whole population of slaves, although maybe I got that wrong. He can confirm. Stockholm Syndrome was never gonna make cotton picking on the plantation seem like a good idea, or the gas showers as an ok way to go.
