I would really like to read what Skip has to say. I have strong opinions about the historic significance of anti, how it changed instrumentation, internal policy, defense attorney information, search engine preference (think of the thousands of CSI fankids writing papers on poly----our future examinees), screenwriters, testing procedure adjustments (millions of tests since 1999), and not to mention the cottage industry of speakers and their presentations debunking the debunkers. Just off the top of my head.[This message has been edited by stat (edited 12-20-2007).] IP: Logged |

I had a student write and present a report on polygraph once. He checked out the anti sites. He heard of "control" questions, but he really had no idea how to formulate or identify one. (He tried, but I left him alone on that one.) I think the Mythbusters episode makes the point a little stronger - if they messed up as George states. The point is that some people read his stuff, but even fewer understand it. I hope his next book has 20 more chapters and makes Moby Dick look like a short story. People are lazy. Look at how intellectually lazy Lethe is. He wants us to educate him because he's too lazy to do so. IP: Logged |

My point was that he (your student and thousands of others) more than likely learned that the test is beatable---and that should he or any of his close friends or associates be faced with the daunting task of being tested at a later time, he will know where to go or steer them. It's not that casual viewers are or aren't able to grasp the premises---as I agree with you that it takes work---but the point is that they mentally bookmark the site, the concept of the beatable test, and the compelling story of a massive fraud perpetrated by authorities (the reader's oft perception.)------------------

Well come on now. I corrected that error even before he started his research. He never seemed to have doubted me, and I allowed challenges in the class, but I get your point. How many of them look here too and leave wondering?IP: Logged |

Sancho was browsing the Anti Site today and discovered in the "Campus Poster Initiative that GM used the same photo for a 2002 post that he used for a 2006 post referencing a "recent" trip to UCLA. Sancho has coined a new phrase citing the photo as an example of: "The Lie Behind The Lie Behind The Lie Detector." GM will hear this phrase again. BTW it is not copyrighted and if you feel it is appropriate use it as you wish. ------------------

Cliff/1904 is back. Upon Cliff's first banishment last Spring, he took on the name "Kalex/Kalax" and wrote me in private messages under that name as himself. I have yet to see him post this morning but he is seen as logged on under that alternative name as I write this.------------------
