What’s the organizational rationale behind using the polygraph? Its reliability at detecting deception doesn’t on the face of things seem correct, with “bureaucratic inertia” not really enough to explain its persistence either. Is it something different then? Perhaps when someone’s response patterns simply don’t match known types or some other reason?
- SteveNuts 8mo agoGo watch the JCS episode with the Chris Watts interrogation including his polygraph, you’ll see it’s actually extremely effective. As a scientific tool to literally detect lies it’s completely bunk, but all the interrogator has to say is “the machine said you weren’t 100% truthful” and humans will 9 times out of 10 start blabbing. It absolutely works as an interrogation tool. https://youtu.be/nVZhV7M3mNE https://youtu.be/nVZhV7M3mNE
