Ethics would say yes be honest.  George advocated it then gave you an option to defeat the polygraph by using his book to defeat the exam on the pretext that polygraph is not an accurate measure of truth.  So will you use ethics and be honest, or use the countermeasures and be dishonest?

Don't worry about the possibility of using the countermeasures in George's book to defeat the exam.  According the polygraph examiners who have posted on this site, the countermeasures don't work anyway.  Or they do but they can be detected.  Or they don't and they can be detected.

This also raises the question that if I submit to a polygraph exam and tell the complete truth on all questions, isn't that all that is morally and ethically required of me?  If I tell the complete truth while doing long division in my head or biting my tongue am I being somehow dishonest or unethical?

I think that the responsibility of an ethical person is to tell the truth.  My thoughts are my own, so if I choose to calculate trigonometric functions in my head after answering a question truthfully and that interferes with the examiner's ability to interpret that truth, I can still hold my head high and know that I behaved in a morally upstanding manner.
