you are correct. now i am looking for help on how to appeal. this is the best site for that. I have also corresponded with polygraphers ffrom pro-poly sites in the last 2 days. actually, i avoided this site for weeks before my 2nd poly thinking it would not affect me then. i believe I would have passed without visiting this site. knowledge of all the stuff printed here made me incredibly nervous.

So why exactly do you believe this site made you more likely to fail?  Do you believe this site lies about how polygraphs are conducted? Or, if accurate, that knowing the details made you more likely to fail without using CMs?

I tend to believe that information about polys, absent use of CM's, does increase the odds of false positives but there are no published studies on this of which I am aware. One must assume polygraphers believe this as I doubt they would lie if they did not believe it made the polygraph more accurate.
