The widespread, popular, nearly complete blind trust in polygraphy continues largely unabated.

Here is an interesting blog by a former associate of KF (Kobe Bryant's rape accuser). The current site headline regarding a polygraph challenge and accompanying forum discussion follow. Please don't turn this into a Kobe thread, my point here is to illustrate popular credence given polygraphy by high profile people that I would expect to be better informed.

Marty,

Popular belief in the polygraph as a lie detector was also needed for the following political advertisement, which was aired in some states by the advocacy group, MoveOn.org:

Such an ad wouldn't work in a society where the polygraph was held in the same regard as, say, a Magic 8-Ball.
