AT would know, but I can see the difference, I think. Every intake is saturated. You can't sneak a little air through pursed lips. Every intake is wet and stifling. Remember the old scenes of holding someone's head under water for torture. You're very limited. The guy freaks, but he can only hold his breath so long, then he aspirates and drowns. The waterboarding relies on our FEAR of drowning, not talk or drown. Like everything else, the fear is worse than the actuality. At least that's my opinion. Now I'll let at talk, who knows what he's talking about!
