Where did you get "everyone" from my post or MDixon's? The important thing, no matter how well it works, is that it doesn't guarantee accurate information. It wasn't designed for that; it was designed to elicit false confessions. Once you can breathe again, you could still give false information. Also, it amounts to a mock execution, which is forbidden by international law.
