Is polygraph test reliable ? Doesn't it fall under pseudoscience ?
It is not reliable at all, and yes, it is widely considered to be psuedoscience. Yes, this is a batshit insane scenario
Yes, morons still believe in it, yes, he is a moron.
That and just looking for an excuse.
You can even train to beat them, so it’s definitely not a reliable method.
And, I would assume, if anyone had done that training it would be FBI agents.
Lol right? This seems more like a "can you beat a polygraph test" test, than a loyalty test
It measures things accurately but this has absolutely nothing to do with identifying if someone is telling the truth or not.
It's more of an anxiety-detector. It has no basis in fact.
