Speaking for myself, I don't ignore that fact at all. I just think it's a poor justification, and in all fairness I think Ben recognised that too - torturing, abusing, imprisoning (and maybe even killing?) a person apparently perfectly capable of listening to dialogue simply ain't, in my view, excused by wanting to protect someone you care for. Especially seeing as Karl seemed to care for her just as profoundly. I still don't get why anyone thinks he'd be so willing to put her in mortal danger.
