Humanity does not have as short of a memory as you think. If he tried to redefine torture and met even a degree of success, someone will no doubt rise up to the task making sure that what real torture is will not be forgotten in some way or another. Cultural history shows us that you can't kill off a philosophy too easily- especially not by just twisting some words.
