	The eminent polygrapher, Barry C. from Maine postulates in the following thread on PolygraphPlace: http://www.polygraphplace.com/ubb/NonCGI/Forum1/HTML/000668.html That if one is in pain when he takes a polygraph, he will concentrate more on the pain and less on the answers, and thus the results of the polygraph will be less accurate. How could this be logically? Is one being less truthful because his back hurts? If this is true, then isn't pain a great countermeasure for a guilty person? Turn a deceptive result into an inconclusive? How much pain is required, and has there been ANY studies, peer reviewed or not, to validate his claims? Inquiring minds want to know.

	"Although the degree of reliability of polygraph evidence may depend upon a variety of identifiable factors, there is simply no way to know in a particular case whether a polygraph examiner's Conclusion is accurate, because certain doubts and uncertainties plague even the best polygraph exams." (Justice Clarence Thomas writing in United States v. Scheffer, 523 U.S. 303, 118 S.Ct. 1261, 140 L.Ed.2d 413, 1998.)

This is continuing evidence from the Poly folks that POLYGRAPHS DON'T DETECT LIES OR DECEPTION. The results can be from a variaty of factors or a sum of them yes including possibly the fact that someone is nervous because they are lying!!
