I’d like to know what “software torture” means once the metaphor has been stripped. As it is, that phrase doesn’t tell me what they’re doing, but does tell me what I’m supposed to think about it, which combination is worrisome. Fuzz testing would probably be considered “torture” by anyone who hadn’t heard of it and who didn’t realize that criminals looking for software exploits were doing it too.
