This insight provides another reason that should not be overlooked when arguing against torture and shows  why its use to obtain information is not acceptable.  To obtain information torture is quicker and more efficient than the alternative: in-depth investigation. However, the use of torture, because of its purported eficiency and fast results, will lead to reliance on it as method to obtain badly needed information. At the same time, as an additional side efffect, it will atrophy the necessary skills and lead to the reduction of the resources needed to carry out detailed and time-consuming investigations. This is why over time the use of torture will lead to an increase in its use and with it to an increase in human suffering.
