My point is that 2+2, no matter how malicious the addition, will always be 4. If i want to test the conductivity of the human body on unwilling participants and i do so carefully, i will end up with accurate data on the conductivity of the human body, despite the fact that my participants were unwilling and i acted with malice.
Ideally, i would never use torture as a means of scientificall examining the world. But i don't think that data resulting from experiments involving torture are necessrily flawed.
