That's all anyone is saying! If disadvantages occasionally help out a character, that is okay so long as it does not become unbalancing. In the OP's case, unless the campaign focuses on interrogating sky pirates it seems unlikely that this would be more than a once-in-a-rare-while situation, not enough to prevent the reputation from being an overall disadvantage at roughly the indicated points. If it is getting abused, the GM can always impose a penalty - perhaps the character gains a NEW reputation that springs from his role-played behaviors.
