We know that putting people in concentration camps by the millions is effective.

It takes a particular kind of cruelty to see the world from the eye of effectiveness only, and that thinking propagates through society.

No surprise that Chinese have been found to be the least honest and least trustworthy society in many experiments and studies, e.g.

We are embedded in society, always. One should be careful thinking only about effectiveness and efficiency, and not individual dignity. There's a feedback.
