Unless the child's father was trained to be a polygraph operator by the Canadian army it is unlikely he recieved any special training with regard to the polygraph.

Anyone can beat the polygraph. You don't have to receive special military training or be in denial. Detailed information on how to fool the polygraph is available right here on this website and is easily found by anyone who seeks it. See Chapters 3 & 4 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector: 

Incorrect statement, I test many that have read your book and they do not pass!!!!!   Persons that have mental problems and believe their own lies have nothing to fear, because they are in denial.  The Social Worker is correct in that assesment.   

You cited one study by Honts, which is an older study.  You have failed several polygraph examinations and are an expert on how to pass??????????????

And have you personally passed a polygraph examination using your methodology?  If so please cite where and when.

There will not be any publications on countermeasures by the polygraph industry.  The reason is quite simple, you would request the documentation via FOIA and publish it here.  Countermeasures are detected on a regular basis which disqualifes the applicant from further processing.   

With regards to the research by Hont's, his research sparked examiners to do research and we now have some very good methods of deteting them.  There will be no answer too the challenge to demonstrate this.  Again the reason, we will not divulge our methods so you can find other ways to defeat polygraph while being untruthful.

Correct, and we don't need to support our methods of detecting countermeasures, they are abundantly clear to the trained professional.

I'm not concerned if non polygraphers "BELIEVE" or not, simply detecting the countermeasures are sufficient for disqualification.  Mental countermeasures are more difficult, physical ones are not.  There are methods to overcome mental countermeasures also, just have to be on your toes.

If it is true that polygraph examiners have no trouble detecting the use of countermeasures why have so many polygraph examiners claimed that it is irresponsible of George to provide countermeasure information on this web site?

I would think that if countermeasure use is readily apparent to “trained professional” polygraph examiners it wouldn’t cause the slightest bit of concern that a website existed where people could learn such apparently useless techniques.

One particular examiner who posts on this site (Nonombre) has stated on more than one occasion that providing information on how to beat the polygraph is as irresponsible as leaving a loaded shotgun on a subway platform or in a schoolhouse.  Although I disagree with his assessment I have to wonder why he would write such things if it is in fact readily and immediately apparent whenever an examinee attempts to use countermeasures.

Logic clearly dictates that if countermeasures were ineffective and/or easily detected then there would be absolutely no cause for concern among polygraph examiners that a website exists where people can learn about countermeasures.   

What possible concern about the availability of countermeasure techniques could polygraph examiners have if countermeasures are in fact easy to detect and/or ineffective?  That a child molester might read about them and use them during a polygraph exam?  If the countermeasures are ineffective and/or easily detected why would it matter? 

Is there a concern that a police applicant with a history of disqualifying behavior might use these easily detected countermeasures on a pre-employment exam?  Why would that be a concern if his or her use of countermeasures was ineffective and easy to detect?
