I can't agree with the characterization of them being "almost entirely decent people" when they clam up and defend the objectively bad among them. Decent people don't do that.

In fact there were some famous studies that disproved that assertion when the "decent people" are part of a larger organization.

Seems like either a) decent people in fact do that, or b) there just aren't many decent people out there, based on the evidence of the behavior of insiders in pretty much ever organization or industry that's ever had a highly-placed sexual assaulter, fraudster, or similar.
