I'm not sure you can prove this.

I don't think the purpose of the cross was to die in the most cruel manner imaginable.

The purpose was to destroy the curse of sin. The cross was merely the preferred tool of the Romans.

I'm sure it could be argued that "the rack" was more painful, or being boiled alive, or baked in an oven.
