Presumably lesser forms of pain gives a bonus less than +3. IIRC, GURPS' scale-of-pain fits so that there are lesser steps of +1 and +2, and then +3 for Agony. Or if not then close to it.

It's probably just an oversight, that the rules for using torture wasn't given a close review, because it's not something the PCs do very often in a traditional campaign.
