Also to be clear, his [torture] paraphrase is referencing GP's reference of Winston Smith's torture in 1984.

>electronic equivalent of Winston Smith with the rats.

I don't think quotes were used so egregiously here on their own fwiw, but combined with the allusion it's hard to follow.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to be clearer in the future. I didn't intend to communicate that it was a quote. I meant to communicate that it was tenuous to describe it as torture.

We really should have different punctuation marks for verbatim quotes:

Senator Johnson said "I'm taking my wife to Spago."

and so-called "scare" quotes:

Senator Johnson was seen at Spago with his "wife".
