It's the same problem that I have with "The Prisoner" (and I fucking LOVE the Prisoner). Why not just tell them whatever? He's not exactly spilling state secrets. No.2: Why did you resign? No.6: My boss is an asshole. The pay sucked, and I got tired of killing people.

Either Number Two believes that, or he doesn't. If he does, okay, life goes on. If he doesn't, he asks again, and Number Six can rattle off an endless series of plausible reasons for his resignation, none of which involve betraying his country.

It just seems like Number Six is staying quiet because fuck-you. But if your attitude is "fuck-you," just make something up! This whole screaming "I AM NOT A NUMBER" just seems like he doesn't understand what's really important here.

The agent was more interested in breaking Picard's mind, so that Picard would accept whatever he was told, not to just repeat like a parrot.

Yeah. Like in the "Is it safe?" scene from Marathon Man, where the interrogator keeps asking a meaningless question with no right answer.

Once he agreed, even if he didn't mean it, they would have hit him with something worse. It's what torturers do.

Nope, there are five lights, stubborn human!

I imagine Picard later observes some Cardassians counting out money at a bar going "one, two, three, five" and he realizes what was going on
