I don't believe that I have "ranted" as you alleged nor did I compare the polygraph test to either the hearing or eye test.  I merely pointed out that a number of tests conducted routinely, require the examinee to cooperate and that failing to fully cooperate can result in inadequate results in other situations.  I was merely providing an opinion for consideration. I don't think that constitutes a "childish remark".

Mr Webb, you did make the analogy in your post. An analogy is defined by an online dictionary thus: 'Analogy is the comparison of two pairs which have the same relationship'.

There is simply no relationship between polygraph and sensory tests.

I retract my my 'rant' and 'childish' comment as upon reflection, it was uncalled for and personal.

I do think that the comparisons were somewhat left field though.
