I am new to this board, and would like to find out where people stand on the following questions:

1) Does ANYONE on this board believe that the machine alone
can give enough data to a poly operator to determine truth or a lie?

2) Would anyone oppose catching "bad guys' by way of confession, because of fear of the poly?

3) Related to (2)..Does anyone feel it is wrong to trick a suspect into a confession, if threats or violence are not used?

Thanks,
Peter

1)  From what I have learned on this board, no.

2)  Should those same criminals also fear that the trolls that live under bridges are going to 'git them in their sleep?  ;D

3)  Can you provide examples of what you are talking about?
