Default Re: OK, Here\'s The Truth

since when did everyone decide that polygraphs produced correct results? With people who are insane, they can certainly "believe" in this alternate reality that they have convinced themselves actually happened. For brandi, she could easily be insane to the point where she is convinced she didnt lose the money she actually lost. This being the case, she would pass the polygraph, everyone on here would believe shes right and she would still be wrong. I dont think the polygraph would do anything.

It would do plenty. Whether the deluded one was Brandi or Mark. I already said that they both might pass. But in my book, and in the book of most professional gamblers, such a result (assuming the polygraph wasn't scammed) has a big implication compared to one of them failing.

What's the evidence that polygraph test results are correlated with whether the subject is telling the truth (or even thinks she is)?
