Your question is poorly formed because the basis of my comment was asking how you defined &quot;work&quot; in the context of waterboarding. You didn&#x27;t provide any sort of definition, you just said &quot;Well, maybe it worked for other people&quot;.<p>But if it doesn&#x27;t work reliably, for whatever &quot;work&quot; means, then it doesn&#x27;t matter if it&#x27;s successful sometimes and unsuccessful other times because if you don&#x27;t have a way to distinguish the success from the failure, it&#x27;s impossible to measure.<p>That&#x27;s why I asked you to clarify what you mean when you say it might &quot;work&quot;.
