Nope. And I think I made that pretty clear in saying that a civilized society shouldn't resort to violence as a means of investigation. It also shouldn't resort to violence in a punitive way.

I agree, you did. I was just switching up the question for anyone who might be uncomfortable answering it as a "what if torture did work" type question.
