he's not facing criminal charges

Fact is, there is no possible situation in which you should convict someone of rape in the US. NO situation

I was able to play around with one, and I think I could manipulate it.

becouse a fair trial is impossible

I think the point is if this works every nominee will get this treatment.

if a polygraph is inadmissible in a criminal court, then why should anyone take it seriously?

First, they ask you a few questions to establish the baseline. If you can get really excited during the initial questions, all other questions they ask you you pass

@Hearts™ And she never mentioned Kava in those therapy sessions

could i use a palm reader?

You can lie as much as you want.

can i call a seer as a witness?

it comes down to - one of them is lying. which one is? you have to make an assessment. but even if you agree that the #metoo shit is going too far, that has nothing to do with whether or not the thing in question actually happened

but the point is that we don't know who is lying

Me too STARTED to far

all we can do is evaluate the evidence

They also used to assess people for homosexuality with Rorschach cards.

I think people are very quick to take a position on this matter based on what they suspect the truth to be

and since Ford made the claim, she needs to bring the evidence

me twoo started by accusing innocent men such as harvey weinstein and bill cosby

heh okay

She also has this fun thing of constantly changing the time scale of wheni t happened

she did not bring evidence so her claims must be dismissed

Hendlin, Stephen J. "Homosexuality in the Rorschach: A new look at the old signs." Journal of homosexuality 1.3 (1976): 303-312.

what I see going on right now is a lot of confirmation bias from everyone involved

people who want to believe Dr. Ford do

And im not saying those didnt do what they were accused of btw. Im saying what bill cosby was accused of was innocent.

and vice versa

i'm confirming my bias that i require evidence in order to take a claim seriously

Zucker, Kenneth J., et al. "Sex-typed responses in the Rorschach protocols of children with gender identity disorder." Journal of Personality Assessment 58.2 (1992): 295-310.

All I know is that the hearing was a pathetic waste of taxpayer money, I'd be mad if I paid taxes

One more:

are those periodicals publicly available?

lmao Tim almost walked out on the Star Wars article

I also have a stack of studies on polygraphs, but I do'nt want to spam.

i'm interested

Do you have an Athena account?

You can often find free or draft versions on the author web pages.

Sorry.

probably not, I haven't been a university student for five years

I'm too lazy right now. Try SCIHUB if you can't find them elsewhere.
