Acknowledging that torture is not an efficient form of interrogation

[u/Character_Growth_397]

Torture is often shown as an effective way of interrogation, with writers forgetting one key detail: People lie. AAMOF, it's likely that they will lie and give you untrue information to not be tortured

The Last of Us - Joel has an interrogation map where he'd make two different people point to something on a map. If they both pointed the same thing it meant the info was true. Very often this wasn't the case

Mass Effect 2 - Garrus points out that torture is not effective because victims will lie to make the torture stop

"If you fuckin' beat this prick long enough, he'll tell you he started the goddamn Chicago Fire. Now, that don't necessarily make it fuckin' so!"

"I don't really give a good fuck what you know or don't know. I'm gonna torture you anyway. Not for information. It amuses me... To torture."
