I said interrogation, not torture. There are now at least a few law abiding countries (e.g. UK) where disclosing passwords is mandatory by law as part of an investigation, where interrogation is the process where they demand the suspect reveal such information. With a tool like this, it would be impossible to prove you have revealed every password, and they could hold you in contempt forever.

Don’t assume everyone is making an argument from an extreme position, as reality is rarely ever black and white.

You did, but as soon as you are discussing things in the context of rubber hoses that includes extreme interrogation methods.
