You read them the same way the polygrapher does. Pick up a pen, close both eyes, and randomly place x's on the chart. Open your eyes. The x's indicate deception.
Actually, that's not how they do it. But it is statistically as accurate

You're still an idiot.

For an explanation of how polygraph examinations are administered and scored, see Chapter 3 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector.

Skeptic,
If you'll read the thread in PCSOT, you'll see that the esteemed Mr. Saidme responded to my counter-arguments with a juvenile name-calling post, rather than refuting or conceding. Such conduct is not what a person would expect from a person who claims 25 years as a "professional". And he still refuses to refute the arguments. Besides, he has absolutely no sense of humor. What a drag his life must be.

Yeah, I saw it.  He has an unfortunate tendency to read hidden meaning into things with great certainty (perhaps a common trait among interrogators in general?).  And yes, I think he does owe you an apology for his initial comments to you, wherein he clearly misconstrued your statements.  

But at least compared with most of our polygrapher visitors, he's being fairly civil.

Skeptic,
True, he is rather civil. After all, I have been called worse names than "idiot".
