Thanks for the confirmation. I knew it was BS.

Please elaborate for us about.....how you surmised that he was using countermeasures.

Please read my post more carefully before you make other unfounded assumptions.  Or perhaps you can point out where I wrote that I surmised GM used cm's.

Just for the record, in my experience, all polygraph charts used in training are sanitized.  All identifying information such as, date, agency, examiner, and subject, is removed.

Although we will never find common ground as to the proper use of polygraph technique, I respect your opinion and have never questioned your honesty.  I am comfortable taking your word that you did not use cm's.

Several years ago, I saw a set of charts that, without mentioning any specific name was attributed, by someone who seemed to know, to "the asshole that runs that antipolygraph web site."  I did score the charts, but I did not then and I do not now offer my opinion of them.

Since you jumped in to sing a duet with polyboy1, I assumed you were in concurrence; I see now it was just a marriage of convenience.

Also, thanks for this nice snapshot view into the professional demeanor of those populating your ranks.

I was wondering why I was asked to nod yes or no as opposed to a verbal yes or no ?

The polygraphers will do everything to mess up your head.  I've been told to keep my eyes closed, adjust my posture, answer "no" to every question, as well as putting up with the operator inexplicably keep leaving the room.
