    Intention doesn’t define torture. Many people aren’t sadists, but they like money more than they care about morals. Or taste from the consumers.

      intention is certainly an important facet of torture. if a dentist pulls a tooth it’s not the same as a sadist pulling a tooth, even if anesthesia isn’t available. both would cause the same pain, but the dentists is incidental.
