Is it worse to torture one or annoy a billion?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is it worse to torture one or annoy a billion?". Your opponent's style: The Devil

Disagree

You're wrong—torturing one person is categorically worse, and here's why: a billion annoyed people still have their dignity, their bodies, their freedom intact. They go about their lives. That one tortured person has had everything stripped away. The torturer has broken them. One destroyed human being represents an absolute evil that annoyance never reaches, no matter the scale. You can't just add zeros to suffering and claim quantity beats quality of harm. A billion minor irritations don't equal one shattered soul. The math of human cruelty doesn't work that way. Now your turn—defend the math.
