The nuance here is pretty blunt: no matter how useful torture is, it is never enough to legalize it.

Same with banning secure private communication.

Is that it? I think it might be "no matter how many times we legalize torture, it will never become truly useful".

Studies show torture is simply not effective. Similar to how surveilling all communication is not effective.
