Total freaking HEAD CASE
Total freaking HEAD CASE
Two questions does not a lie detector make.
Link?
What’s the source?
I think you are correct. Laura Ingraham just interviewed a polygraph expert, who is now a professor and he said the same thing.
You need to ask specific questions, not general ones.
It also doesn’t make sense she would just out of the blue decide to have this polygraph test done. Why would you just randomly decide to have such a test completed if this was not part of a coordinated plan to spring at a later date?
Yeah, when I read the release, it didn’t smell right. Where’s the graphs? The physiological readings graphs? They would have control questions on them, too, for comparison.
Where’s the data???
I wondered about that.
Chapters?
Which Chapters?
Freepers have been saying that, and more all day.
ALL polygraph tests are invalid. Not even admissible in court anymore. Anyone with even a little training can fool one. They’re a joke.
Which ought to be an ethics charge against that muleface lawyer
Polygraphs are trash anyway. Which is why courts don’t consider them admissible.
Mind sharing where you heard it from?

More: Judiciary Committee sent letter today to Ford’s attnys requesting 1) audio/visual recordings taken during Fords’s polygraph; and 2) charts/data used in drawing polygraph conclusions. Ford’s attnys just now refused to supply, saying such material not “important.” Really?

I’m shocked.
The polygraph is as big a crock as everything else about her case, that’s a real surprise—in the land of NOT.
Not that it matters much. The purpose of the polygraph was to say she passed a polygraph.
In my previous job as an engineer for a defense contractor with a high-level security clearance I have been through polygraph tests about every 5 years. Two questions does not make sense at all. The first questions are to get your baseline for heart rate, breathing rate and blood pressure. They are questions like stating your whole name, birth date and city of birth. Then questions like mother and father names and occupations. Then they get to the adversarial questions like have you ever given classified US information to an unauthorized or foreign person? The change in readings may show stress with the question, but it is not accepted in courts because someone may just feel distress at the question even if they did not do it.
With Blasey-Ford they did not even ask the baseline questions so there was not even an honest attempt at a polygraph test, even though it would not prove anything if properly applied.
polygraphs do not detect lies.
testers are trained to use them psychologically.
from one who has experienced them firsthand. are also spent a good deal of time researching them.
