Yep. No one ever claimed that you don’t get some true intel with the bad.

Unfortunately some people don’t perceive that level of nuance.

There is another element to this as well and it has to do with what the expected consequence of giving up information under torture could be expected if you were returned home. Generally in the US military there is no life altering consequence if you are captured, tortured, and give up information. While there may be shame, even military officials are not court marshalled in these events. On the other hand, if one expects to return to a totalitarian or lawless situation then your desire to be able to deny giving up information is higher.
