R/I responses / CMs

I've read and re-read chapters 3&4 of TLBTLD but still can't decide IF / HOW one should employ CMs on a Relevant-Irrelevant "test."

I cannot formulate a course of action based on what I've read in the book and on these boards.

I have nothing I would need or want to lie about, and I don't see the point of employing any countermeasures on such a "test."

All that being the case, is the only option left to sit back, tell the truth (as I've always done) and let the polygrapher roll the dice with my fate?

The polygraph overall seems so bogus and unfair, but it's the Relevant-Irrelevant exams in particular that just lead me to feel that I'm damned if I DO tell the truth, and damned if I DO tell the truth, so to speak.

So, to reiterate the question: SHOULD one employ CMs on a R/I "test," and if so, HOW would I go about employing CMs on an R/I "test," there being no obvious control (directed lie, probable lie) questions involved?

As I understand R/I tests, deception is indicated when a response is generated by the same RQ across multiple charts.  For example, if the polygrapher runs three charts with the questions in a different order on each chart, and each time you have an elevated response to a specific RQ, then the conclusion will be that you are lying on that RQ.   
So, if you were given a R/I test, then on the first chart use CMs on questions about topic A and C, on the second about topic D and G, and on the third about topic B and F.   


There's a good discussion about this topic under "Share Your Polygraph or CVSA Experience - Relevant/Irrelevant Test."   

The Relevant/Irrelevant test is explained on pages 117-120 and 151 of TLBTLD.
