Skynet Torture Chamber

@Ernie - And again, if you don't mind wearing the losses, playing the lottery is a very effective way to win the lottery.

That's where our own psyches fall down. "because it worked this one time out of thousands" is the same reason lottery players continue to play, in spite of enormous losses.

Whereas the reality is that torture is ineffective because it produces a mixture of truth and lies that are hard to distinguish.
