Mr. Scalabrini,
Are you asserting that the techniques that you publish in your book DON'T WORK if used by criminals? You provide your book and techniques free of charge to ANYONE. I think the term
anyone would necessarily include
criminals wouldn't it? Do you deny the simple logic that a criminal might read your book and and attempt to use its contents to conceal their criminal activity? I think that there is an undeniable chain of inference that proves the assertion. Deduction is an accepted form of argument in academia when supported by a articulable chain of inference.
Trying to deny that your book attempts to teach the reader ways and means to conceal criminal activity is like saying that lockpicking books don't teach burglars how to gain access to the houses they burgle or that bomb making manuals don't teach terrorists how to make bombs. Except of course, that lockpicking and bomb making manuals have a better chance of working.
As to the remainder of my assertion,
Why Gino, I'm glad you asked,
In your book the following text appears at or near the locations noted.
Quote:But don’t tell your polygrapher that you’ve read this book or that you’ve done research on the Internet and visited such websites as
AntiPolygraph.org! Page 140 CONCEALING INFORMATION
Quote:Instead, provide a general answer to his question about what you know about polygraphy, such as: Page 140 SUGGESTING LIES TO TELL THE EXAMINER
I heard on T.V. that they’re almost always accurate when
used by a skilled examiner. Is that right?
• A friend of mine in law enforcement said not to worry, just
go in and tell the truth, and you’ll have no problem!
• I understand that polygraphs are a lot more accurate than
those voice stress analyzers. (Polygraphers generally hold the competing
voodoo science of Computerized Voice Stress Analysis
[CVSA] in utter contempt.)
• I read in the paper that the polygraph has been constantly
improving with time and that the latest computerized polygraphs
are very reliable.
• When I was in grade school, a polygraph examiner came
and gave a demonstration to my class and showed us how the test
is done using my teacher as a volunteer. She lied about a card she
had picked from a deck, and the polygraph examiner caught her
lie and was even able to figure out exactly which card she had
picked!
• I heard it caught O.J. in a lie! (Virtually no one in the polygraph
community believes O.J. Simpson to be innocent of the
murder of his ex-wife, Nicole.)
Whatever answer you give, don’t memorize and repeat the above
examples word-for-word. Page 140 SUGGESTING WHICH LIES TO USE AND OFFERING ADVICE ON HOW TO DELIVER THEM.
Quote:If you do choose to submit to a polygraph for some other
reason (most likely as a pre-requisite for an employment process),
the most important step you can take to minimize the potential
for a negative outcome is to make no admissions. Page 197 CONCEALING INFORMATION Note this statement does not differentiate between what it is or isn't permissable to lie about
Quote:Make no admissions is also the rule if and when a polygrapher accuses you of using countermeasures. Page 197 IN OTHER WORDS IF THE EXAMINER ACCUSES YOU OF USEING THE TECHNIQUES TAUGHT ON ANTIPOLYGRAPH.ORG TO MANUFACTURE FALSE REACTIONS, LIE .
How many quotes and page numbers do you need.?
Now that I have answered your question with quotes and page numbers, could you please attempt to explain your blatantly false assertion that Polygraph is
Quote: a process which was OUTLAWED in the US in 1988 for everyone but government employees
By the way, my assertion regarding research studies that I stiil refuse to provide stems from a challenge to an assertion by Dr. Maschke that the countermeasures he teaches in your book are undetectable. As of this date, your co-author has been unable to produce single research study that both (a) proved that the countermeasures he teaches are an effective means of passing a polygraph and are undetectable
and (b) cited your book TLBTLD as the source of the advice or training for effective and undetectable countermeasures.
Quote:The countermeasures we’ve discussed produce physiological responses that are indistinguishable from those that polygraphers believe to be associated with truth-telling concerning the relevant issues TLBTLD page 159.
When he produces evidence of his assertion that satisfies both aspects, I will review the evidence and either produce a citation for my assertion or withdraw it.
Would you care to respond? Hint: if both (a) and (b) cannot be satisfied, then the only correct response can only be"There isn't a single research study anywhere that will satisfy both (a) and (b). Hint #2 Citations in Chapter 4 of your book do not satisfy (b)
