With plausible deniability you (or your companions) don't need to be so hard as you need to be without. Since with p.d. you can be *sure* your torture will not stop just because you give them one more key (because you cannot proof it was the last, it wouldn't be plausible deniable then), giving them more doesn't give you a benefit. Without p.d. it gives you a benefit to tell them more. Thus, without p.d. you need to be harder not to tell your secrets: torture would be over then. regards Mario -- Ho ho ho!
