How one should best initially answer such a probable-lie "control" question will depend on how it is introduced. For example, if the question is initially posed simply as, "Did you ever lie to a loved one?" it would not be credible for anyone to answer "No," and it would be appropriate to make some minor admission(s).

However, if the polygrapher explains that he/she is not talking about "little white lies" but rather about important things when he/asks "Did you ever lie to a loved one?" then one might choose to forego any minor admissions and simply answer the question "No."

I'm sorry if this question seems dumb, but I'll risk my ego for an answer from George

The question is, if you are asked "Have you ever lied to a loved one?", are you supposed to initially answer 'yes', or 'no'? The reason I ask is because in TLBTLD, it states that a person will 'probably admit to one or two indiscretions', then the question will be asked again to contain those remarks.

It seems like you are supposed to answer yes, admit to what made the answer 'yes', then answer the question again with a 'no', when the polygrapher tries to contain your responses.

Thank you again,
Randy
