** Because not only ItOnlyWorksOnce, but also mutates in order to counteract/replicate said power. Generally, it prefers the former, especially if it took a lot of damage; in this case, if it doesn't do that then we would have [[ILoveNuclearPower a radioactive 682]]. [[{{Understatement}} This would be a problem.]]

** Several SCPs have been written so that they can be printed and left in a public place.

* A lot of SCPs require sophisticated containment that would take a long time to construct. What did the Foundation do with the artifacts before their containment rooms were constructed? Even when the containment is simple they still need to locate a free room. Where did they put SCP 173 before they found it a cell? How was it contained and transported to the cell?

* Quite possibly the entire point of the WebOriginal/SCPFoundation.

--> '''Ethics Committee Member''': Remember this: the Foundation is not evil. We do not torture people "just because". We are against unnecessary cruelty. Which means somebody has to decide when cruelty ''is'' necessary. And that somebody is us... Stop trembling.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/ethics-committee-orientation The Ethics Committee.]] At first, it seems like a bad joke for an [[WellIntentionedExtremist organization]] [[IDidWhatIHadToDo like]] [[BlackAndBlackMorality the]] [[WeHaveReserves Foundation]] to have such a thing (hell, even the most of the staff think it's ineffectual and pointless), but the truth is they know ''everything'' the Foundation has ever done, is doing, and ever will do. Every thing behind those black bars, every [[REDACTED]] and [[DATA EXPUNGED]]? They know what's there. [[ColdBloodedTorture 110-Montauk]]? Yep, they know that, too. They ''approved'' it. The thing is, as bad as the Foundation is now, without them it would be much, ''much'' worse.

** Maybe [[spoiler:053 is for us what we are for 682]].

* The interact between [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682 SCP-682]] and [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-053 SCP-053]] is [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming real cute]]. But lets drop that SugarBowl for moment and think, 682 kill everything because they're ''disgusting'', yet it become docile toward 053. And no, it isn't case of WouldntHurtAChild, it has killed at least two kids - quick and messy. Remember that when humans made eyes contact with or touching 053, or simply being near her long enough, they will gone berserk and attack 053. Taking all those clues, you should have realize the ''wrongness'' hiding in 053.

* When you go to the page for [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/proposals-for-scp-001 SCP-001 proposals]], you receive a warning that, if you scroll down, you will be terminated by a visual memetic kill agent. So you scroll down, see a weird-looking picture, and nothing happens, giving you access to the proposals. Translation: the only thing preventing everyone from seeing SCP-001 ''doesn't work'', leaving it open to ''everyone''. And if something '''that''' important has been done badly, just what else have they screwed up?

* Quite possibly the entire point of the SCPFoundation.

** Maybe except the spiral path.

*** Of special horror are the black bars commonly used on the site - you don't know what's behind them, but there's a number of them left there for you to ''guess.'' [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-231 SCP-231's]] age was originally "between ██ and ██ years of age," but after a user realized that meant she was at least a teenager, it was swiftly changed to "between █ and ██ years of age." Think about it.

* Just about any "creation story" one would be able to come up with for how most of the [=SCPs=] came about.

** It is, by all means, completely impossible to know just what [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-055 SCP-055]] is. Yes, it's hilarious when the researchers forget about things, but the horror sets in when you realize /any/ ideas that it could actually be.
