| So, I don't think that this was necessarily what the creators were going for, but I'm personally of the opinion that this series was something of a philosophical debate on the value of torture. Think about it: the arbiters are trained to detach themselves from humanity and put the humans who arrive in horrific situations until they break for the sake of drawing out their "true" nature. This is similar in principle to the idea of a suspect being tortured to establish their guilt or innocence. Each method though is shown to have the same issue: people all are guilty of something. If you were go around smashing peoples fingers with a hammer they would eventually admit to all sorts of horrible things, but that wouldn't be a fair assessment of their guilt. Similarly, the argument is that attempting to forcibly draw out the darkness in someone's soul is not a fair metric of their character. The counter-argument that is raised in both cases is that viewing the judged with empathy and understanding is a better means for drawing out the truth (either true information or true character). What are your thoughts? Am I reading into this too much? |

| Interesting and I agree. System is flawed from the beginning by whoever made it, but as non-humans the unpredictability of humanity was probably too abstract for the arbiters to comprehend. |
