Reasonable Force vs. Torture - how to distinguish?

Using common sense, as would be defined by The Man on the Clapham Omnibus (an average Joe), it is really quite simple to distinguish the two.

'Reasonable force' can be recognized by the subject responding by saying something like, "Ouch, hey that lawful force that you're applying is extremely uncomfortable to the point of being downright painful."

'Torture' can be recognized by the subject falling down, involuntarily writhing on the floor in sheer agony, and screaming like an animal being slaughtered.

Any questions?
