Polygraphs are junk science and that courts and law enforcement and intelligence services use them at all is disconcerting and bizarre.

I’m not discrediting Dr.Ford, I completely believe her, I don’t need a polygraph to believe her. Read ANYTHING I’ve posted in the last several days.

It doesn’t change what I said: polygraphs are junk science, there is no credible scientific evidence that they can reliably determine if someone is lying or not.

People have gone to jail, been fired and never got a chance at a job inpart or completely due to something that is junk science.
