Almost like torture is a really good tool for getting people to talk, and a very bad tool for getting them to tell the truth.

Turns out torturers are just really lonely and want someone to talk to

Both also inflict torture. Curious.

Torture's 'appropriate' use case is to ask multiple people questions and then compare the results to find commonalities. Torturing one person is essentially useless.
