You're wrong about that. Individual questions are indeed scored. The "fail one, fail all" policy in polygraphy doesn't alter that.

Maybe I did not make the nuance clear. Let me try again. Regardless of what any particular examiner says or does, it has no bearing on the fact that statistical analyses can only score the exam in its entirety. Statistically, individual questions cannot be called deceptive in themselves.
