I've just downvoted it at your prompting. It raised confused, nonsense points with both excessive confidence and completely unnecessary tone.
Torture without any consequences except the torture itself is not contradictory. The claim of 'overzealous effort to confuse intuition' is also absurd. Even if multiheaded's objection were remotely reasonable it clearly isn't the case that the scenario was constructed in that way with a motive of overzealous effort to confuse intuition. That is just terrible mind reading (to the extent that the accusation is disingenuous).
