Quote:It's pretty much like two groups of boys standing on either side of a fence taunting each other.
I love the analogy, but you are forgetting we do have female posters. Welcome to the fray.
Quote:a guy that learned to talk by reading from a book on trig (Raymond Nelson / Sancho Panza
Nah. Ray is a dedicated, smart, funny, and yes....highly mathmatical statician. Much to learn from Ray. Sancho is a 30yr vet of law enforcement, and is uncharacteristically warm (for retired fuzz), compassionate, and of course, wise.
Quote:and another who thinks he read the trig book but is really full of bluff, a generous dose of narcissism and a wallop of impolite bitterness
( Barry_C).
Ouch! Now that was kinda mean. Raaaaare hisssss, kitty likes to scratch. Barry is a highly level headed, respected, wise intellect that wouldn't touch pseudoscience with a ten foot pole. This rings true for the others as well.
Quote:Can we not just agree that polygraph exams are based on psychological intimidation and get over it ?
Wrong. Such a codification seems below someone of your seeming native intelligence (although I have to remind you that trigonometry has nothing to do with statistics and probabilities.) But you are funny and curious----a good combination to start. Your characteristic of Sarge might be OK, but I believe you are missing the "chronic victim" addition to the call. My 2 cents.
Quote:Just how busy are they work-wise if they have so much disposable time to visit here and argue like kids ?
Well, Sancho is retired. I am taking a year off to be a stay at home dad to my 3 awesome boys ages 1,4, and 6. My 1 year old turned 1 today, and I will be baking a strawberry cake with choc. frosting----and I have to wrap some teething rings (boy do I). Ray is busy and posts when he can----busy trying to help other professionals protect kids. What do you do? Any Kids? Hobbies?
Quote:'Fess up boys. Your party is over.
A memetic statement---catchy. But what do you mean? Tens of thousands of tests a year, and tens of.....well, tens of activists encouraging people to engage in countermeasures that obstruct justice, but also victimize the innocent user with unproven, theoretic countermeasures written by a man who never passed a polygraph---failing a national security test, who distributes the instructions on how to resist classic interrogation and inquiry* from a foreign country to enemies, while he is married to a Chinese national. He could be of pure intentions to be sure. But jeez what a troublesome author on the surface. I have some issues with polygraph testing from a purely Human Resources standpoint,but George ignored my advice on how to better approach and focus his efforts on the modality of applicant screening.
*
Classic interrogation and inquiry. The very method which George Maschke distributed the official Department of Defense Playbook/ Interrogation Manual. I ponder whether it a coincidence that since George has
streamlined the release of that DOD document, torture has replaced the
legal and ethical interrogation methods with barbaric torture----methods George than criticises, despite his efforts to write a "survivors guide" to the classic interrogation. To sum----George is a distributer of interrogation resistance tips, and on the same website criticizes the technique of torture----all the while waving the Stars and Stripes.
On an aside, I think torture is an abomination (as any good liberal should.)
