I think I understand what you are saying. However, getting down and dirty in a court of law, a definate line can be drawn between "passing" and "not passing". Inconclusive is not determined to be passing. So, from a legal point of view (down & dirty) it would have to be considered not passing which, to me, is saying "hey you lied just a little bit here".  Doesn't inconclusive mean there is a problem, maybe a little higher spike, on at least one of the relevant questions?

I wouldn't let "being purposefully vague" fly in the courtroom. That vague letter can be torn apart.

It will be interesting to see how Mark Zaid attacks in the courtroom. Complaints, motions, etc., is just  the necessary means to get you in the courtroom. There is where a  lawyer's metal is tested.

If one can't be totally truthful and pass a polygraph, then it's not worth the powder it would take to blow it to hell. I'll say it again. There is something drastically wrong with a procedure that allows one person to control another's ability to make a living in his chosen field.
