I'd like to see a response to the question already posed about this quote:


Quote:

It should be noted that although the study purports to use the Test for Espionage and Sabotage format (which is a screening test for conduct not known to have occurred), the polygraph examinations administered were not screening examinations, but rather concerned a specific incident known to have occurred. 35% of innocent examinees failed the polygraph, and overall correctness of classification obtained in this study was only 72%.

It does appear that while arguing that countermeasures don't help, the study also indicates that the rate of false positives is 35%.

I'd really enjoy seeing a substantive response that is free of an argumentum ad hominem, if that's possible.  It appears to be a valid question that has nothing to do with how many polygraphs the poster has taken or administered, or how many and what type of advanced degrees he has or doesn't have, or what he does or doesn't do for a living.
