You don't need to prove it. My point is that what's torture depends more on the psychological context than the type or extent of the injury. FWIW I got a bunch of teeth knocked out by a cop with a baton and I'm haunted by it. It wasn't a melee or brawl or chaotic situation: I was under his complete control, he lined up the shot and took it. It felt like torture to me, and I'm happy that the UN agrees.
