Jeremiah,
To be sure, are you saying that you first admitted to your polygrapher that you know "the lie behind the lie detector," that she went ahead and polygraphed you anyhow, and that you were deceptive with regard to the relevant questions but used countermeasures and passed?
I'm skeptical that the producers of the Jenny Jones show would seriously consider doing a show where the validity of polygraphy was candidly debated. This show makes big bucks for Warner Brothers, and they value the polygraph for its prurient entertainment value in televised disputes over marital (and extramarital) fidelity.
For example, the
Jenny Jones website has a
pag e on lie detectors which states in part:
Quote:Concerns about the accuracy of the tests are mostly unwarranted. In fact, according to Kevin Colley, Computer Polygraph Examiner, most tests are 95-97% accurate.
Could you provide the name and phone number of the person who told you that if enough people call, they would do a show on this issue?
In the past, I've e-mailed the Jenny Jones show regarding the validity of polygraphy, and encouraged others to do so. (See the message thread,
Set Jenny Jones Straight on Lie Detector "Tests.") But I was naive at that time, and did not realize what an important part of this show the lie detector is. I received no reply.
Would you care to name the polygrapher who "tested" you? Was it Dianne Robinson (AKA Ronda Dianne Decker Robinson)? (For more about this Jenny Jones show contractor, see
this page on the Jenny Jones website and also her own website,
www.dontlie.com.)
I'd probably be willing to appear on the Jenny Jones show to debate the validity of polygraphy with Ms. Robinson, or any other polygraph advocate the producers of the show might be able to conjure up.
