TheVoid summed it the best.
My two bits are -
a) Assume the polygraph detects states favorable to 'lying'
b) Sociopathic behaviour exists
c) The person needs to simply believe in their story.
d) Instant fools.
So even if the polygraph was 100% correct in detecting set states associated with lying, simply believing or 'rewriting' one's own version of history easily circumvents such.
Aka - if one isn't convinced by Void's statements about the efficacy, one should be convinced by sociopathic behavior, which is quite, quite common.
