It doesn't work at all if one's goal is to get at the truth.  If one is a sadistic bastard who needs the pain of others to get one's rocks off, then it does work.

The first is the professed goal of torturers down through the ages.

Correct on all counts. As General Mattis implied, there’s really no reason to torture someone for information. The subject is more likely to say - literally - anything to make the torture stop.
