This doesn't seem to take into account the fact that pain hurts. I suggest that "why pain is bad" rests ultimately on that fact. Torture isn't bad just because it confuses signals and doesn't increase reproductive success.
You are right. I was trying to give a reductionist, objective description of what pain is, but that doesn't really cover what it is.
Well, to be fair, that's pretty much what most attempts end up doing, and I just happened to pick on you out of capriciousness ;)
