Quote:Yes, you were lied to. Your breathing rate was not abnormal. I have no explanation for your polygrapher's bizarre accusation.
It seems likely that your next polygrapher will indeed be biased against you from the start based on the first polygrapher's negative assessment.
Mr. Maschke,
You just accused a polygraph examiner of "lieing" to an examinee.
Why?
The examinee never asked if he was "lied to." I see a misunderstanding over the examinee's breathing rate during the administration of a polygraph examination.
For this, you say he was "lied to"
Sir, lying is a deliberate act, generally but not always for malicious reasons. You have no reason to accuse the examiner in this case of lying.
Now, as an examiner I am not sure I would have approached this examinee in quite this same way, but "LIED TO?"!!!
Oh never mind, I remember now. This is "Antipolygraph.org."
One more thing. I don't know how things operate in other departments, but I can tell you that in my department if we change out examiners for the retest of an examinee (inconclusive charts, etc), the new examiner approaches the examinee with a complete and objective "fresh slate." I can tell you of more times than I can can count where a retest by a new examiner helped an examinee successfully navigate the process.
Of course, you will never acknowledge this either. Once again, I need to remind myself, this is "Antipolygraph.org."
Regards,
