I believe I once heard that people are better able to detect lies by reading transcripts compared to watching people. They think they're getting additional information they can use to detect the lies but it ends up being misleading.
Having trouble finding a source for it, however. Anyone?
Also, plenty in the legal system is already done on the basis of transcripts. This isn't an all-or-nothing prospect.

- elicash 6y agoI'm pretty sure it was shared on podcast, but unfortunately that's making it impossible for me to search and find it because they don't provide transcripts. Obviously I don't expect anybody to take my word for it, just was hoping somebody else recalled it.
