In closing, here are ten distinct impressions I came away with after serving as an APA-credentialed "forensic psycho-physiologist" over the past 12 years...

1. Polygraph "testing" has no scientific basis.

2. Generally speaking, polygraph "testing" is essentially a $cam.

3. The flattering research that's proffered by pro-polygraph organizations is inherently flawed.

4. The "model policies" concocted by pro-polygraph organizations are conjured up by like-minded polygraph advocate$ who benefit, either directly or indirectly, from proliferation of the "test."

5. The polygraph indu$try is more of a cult than it is a legitimate science-based professional entity.

6. Credentialed polygraph practitioners who criticize the "test" are regarded by polygraph indu$try power brokers as apostates, and thus are summarily ostracized.

7. Post-Conviction Sex Offender Testing  (PCSOT) is primarily a racket -- wrapped in a cloak of righteousness -- that targets a universally reviled underclass.

8. The polygraph "test" is mainly a pretext for an interrogation. By itself, the "test" has virtually no scientific value, validity or credibility.

9. Any noteworthy consistency of accurate calls derived from polygraph "testing" by an individual examiner stems not from science, but from that examiner's unique combination of education, experience, expertise, intuition and luck.

10.  Polygraph "testing" is primarily about one thing: MONEY.
