Failed to understand "What made more of a difference was the proximity of the "learner" and the experimenter" clearly
Who would like to put it in more words?
Context:
Later, Milgram and other psychologists performed variations of the experiment throughout the world, with similar results.[8] Milgram later investigated the effect of the experiment's locale on obedience levels by holding an experiment in an unregistered, backstreet office in a bustling city, as opposed to at Yale, a respectable university. The level of obedience, "although somewhat reduced, was not significantly lower." What made more of a difference was the proximity of the "learner" and the experimenter. There were also variations tested involving groups.

I suppose it is talking about the physical distance between the participants as the experiment is being conducted. On the basis that it probably ought to say "proximity of the 'learner' to the experimenter" if it meant distance between those two people, I suppose it means distance between the third participant and either or both of those two. It is not tremendously clearly explained in my opinion.
