I think there should be a comma in his statement so it would make more sense. He's comparing chinese water torture to sticking toothpicks under someone's finger nails. But personally I thought chinese water torture was when they strapped you down and let drops of water hit in the middle of your forehead until it somehow started to cave your skull in. I'm probably wrong since I heard that probably ten years ago or some nonsense, but regardless let's hope no CAG ever goes through any type of torture. Aside from the torture of release dates I guess that's inevitable.
