Ves went through hundreds of test subjects before he succeeded in developing a method that ensured that some would survive his test runs.

If the prisoner got purged too early, then his spirituality failed to evolve into spiritual potential. This was a total failure as the violent resonance dealt considerable damage to the structure of the mind.
