Because of all the mental "what-if" gymnastics I do, I know exactly what I am comfortable doing and what I am not comfortable doing. I would not be comfortable waterboarding someone. But, there are other enhanced interrogation techniques that I would be comfortable doing against a high value terrorist prisoner when I believed innocent lives were in danger and the prisoner had information needed to save innocent lives.

Your definition is viable. However, I illustrated why I thought it was vague. However, I did use an analogy comparing "torture" to the pain tolerances of me and my spouse, sorry about that, but you know me.
