But when one engages in CMs, he/she is engaging in moral misconduct (for lack of a better term).  Its' one thing to attempt CMs in order to try to hide a deceptive result.  It's a completely different thing to engage in CMs to "help oneself".  The vast majority of three-letter agency employees/applicants do not attempt to "help themselves".  Those who do are telling us, "I will cheat if it helps me", even if they've done no wrong.  It shows a clear lack of integrity.  What else will they cheat at?  Violating a suspect's rights?  Falsifying an agent's report?

Protecting a hard earned good reputation against being falsely labeled as dishonorable by pseudo-science is in no way "cheating".

Speaking of falsifying a report and violating victims rights....nobody does that better than a polygraph examiner.  Read some actual accounts about how the East German Stasi used mental torture against its victims and then look at today's polygraph practices.  No difference.
