[quote author=Barry_C link=1192473646/30#40 date=1192838908]As I pointed out earlier in this thread, the 2007 Honts & Alloway study has serious design shortcomings....

Let me get this straight.  The guy who only polygraph experience is failing at least two of them knows so much more about psychological research design than the doctors who ran the study and the three Ph.d level scientists who reviewed this study, that he actually has the pompas audacity to feel QUALIFIED to take a blind swing at the quality of this research...

Mr. Maschke spends years demanding (as if he had any right to do so) PEER REVIEWED scientific research into polygraph methods and then whenever peer reviewed research is pointed out to him, he jumps in and uses the full weight of his utter lack of knowledge or education in this or any other field of scientific endevour to slash and tear at the methods used by people FAR smarter than he is.

Bottom line:  George has MAYBE a Master's Degree.  The authors as well as at least three reviewers all have legitimate doctorates specializing in this area.  As I see it, that at least FIVE doctorates against one "maybe" M.S. (In a completely unrelated field, I am sure)

Gee maybe the British Psychological Society should just fire all their doctors and just put George Maschke on retainer as their see all and know all polygraph expert.  Then he, along with Drew Richardson (the WORST NON-certified polygraph examiner in the history of the FBI), can be the world's "One stop shop" for all things polygraph.. .

I still can't believe people are actually taking ADVICE from these guys... :o
