"JOB OPPORTUNITY: Assassins and mercenaries required. Must be proficient in game theory".

In reality they will torture you until you stop decrypting partitions, and then a bit more of special torture, just in case.

If they don't understand game theory, that just means they will act sub-optimally. In any case, the correct strategy for the user is still to not decrypt any partitions, since, as you say, the sooner the user stops decrypting, the sooner the torturers give up.

I don't think either of has met someone who engages in actual torture, but I imagine they rarely, if ever, “give up”.
