You imagine that they were being less than reasonable when they did..but that's probably not true, and really doesn't have much to do with what I was suggesting.
I'm suggesting that you, and in fact most human beings...whether you have "reasonable" reasons, or other-than, are going to find it hard to torture people. We don't need to imagine a hell for this thought experiment, there are plenty of ways to torture people that don't take a fairy tale ball pit full of earthworms made from razor blades. Do you find it hard to refrain from using any of them, when you're in the presence of a certifiable villain (or when you consider being in their presence)?
Yes, there are Bad People™.....but is it actually difficult for you to avoid torturing them?
