- roywiggins 7y agoPolygraphs supposedly detect intentional lies. That seems much harder than just trying to get a general sense of "are they relaxed or anxious", "are they happy or sad."
- pharrington 7y agoThe sham related to polygraphs is trying to divine some correlation between a person's instantaneous emotional state and the veracity of their communications. The biometrics polygraphs measure are very real.
