...And as for the polygraphers like myself, had we been one of the rare--in our experienced opinions--false positives as George claims to be...

Why do you (or any other polygraph examiners) need to rely on your "experienced opinions" when determining the results of a supposedly scientific test?

I see your point, Sergeant. Why would anyone ever rely on experience when it's much easier to just believe what inexperienced people tell you?  Undecided

Apparently you don't see my point.

I was not suggesting that you eschew experience and rely on what inexperienced people tell you, and I don't really see how you gathered that from my post.

My point was and still is that the results of a scientific test should not come from the "opinion" of the examiner.  The results should be objective and replicable, not subjective and possibly different every time the test is conducted.
