Incidentally, torture doesn't work for extracting information. Not that I'd expect a bunch of idiot crypturds to know things that people have known for only 400 years.
Every time I've heard that, all the examples and reasoning talk about cases where the torturer couldn't tell when the victim was telling the truth. So the victim, who is willing to say anything to stop the torture, learns that the truth won't stop it and/or lies will.
Things might be different when whatever the torture victim says can be quickly checked.
Too bad there aren't any examples of such a situation to see what the result was, like say someone being held in a Manhattan townhouse for 3 weeks and being tortured for their bitcoin password. Alas.
