      i think torture is when the pain is the goal of the procedure with the goal of punishing the victim or forcing them to comply. since this was just a scientific inquiry with no (apparent) malice, i’d say it is definitively not torture.

        In that case, let me pull out your fingernails for the purpose measuring whether they are all equally well attached. Don’t worry, they’ll grow back.

        …still doesn’t sound like torture to you?
