CM methods?

[llamatippin]

While using a CM method, how do I actually answer the control question?  Do i answer it honestly or do i lie and answer it the way i'm "supposed to"?
Keep up the good work.
Thanks,

While it's okay to make minor admissions to "control" questions, after the polygrapher moves to exclude them by prefacing the question with "Other than what you told me..." one should answer as expected.
