    “Assessments of polygraphy by scientific and government bodies generally suggest that polygraphs are highly inaccurate, may easily be defeated by countermeasures, and are an imperfect or invalid means of assessing truthfulness.”

    But not this government, I guess. Hold my beer!

      Don’t tell a polygrapher this. They’ll waste your time for 12 hours because you’ve essentially proven their job is worthless, and they’ll make that time well spent reminding you of the fact.

        Tell the polygrapher that, then waste their time anyway lol, have fun with it, lie and tell convoluted stories. Recite the Silmarilion, or what you think the Silmarilion is
