Dean-O:

You are correct. It is an oversight on your part. The book provides a clear explanation as to how one should answer the control questions. You should read chapters three and four closely before taking your test. According to TLBLD, one should make only minor admissions to controls (ex. stealing as a child.) Just think about it, if you deny,deny, deny everything, it's going to look suspicious. No one could honestly say they've never lied about anything. My advice to you is read up--you want to be prepared for the BS the polygrapher is going to throw your way.
