Corrected entry: How was it possible for Dr. Selvig to build a fail-safe into his machine while he was brainwashed? Doesn't that imply that Loki secretly wanted it there?

Correction: Loki simply ordered him to build the machine. Selvig otherwise functions as a normal person, and his scientific imperative would have led him to create an emergency shut-off just like he would with any other kind of potentially dangerous machine he would normally build. If there was a scene in which Loki is shown instructing Selvig not to build a fail-safe into the machine, then it would be a plot hole.
