Quoting google as a credible source is a douchey move at best. It is something a....well....a 12 year old might do.

I am presenting it as my opinion based on the research I have done, and providing statistics to back up my view, as there is no fact saying its accurate, there is also no fact saying its not 96% accurate.

Massive phail.
a lot of people only know it as deca. if he's personally against steroids then there is no real reason for him to even learn more about them or their proper names. just like most people don't know what stanzanol is but everybody has heard of it's common name which is winstrol.

well the fact is that there was enough evidence to overturn those cases, so there's definitely a chance that sherk's suspension will be lifted as well.

LOL

listen child, your first lesson for today, Google doesnt provide any information at all, its not a source, its a fucking search engine to multiple sources that have that 96% number including USA today, CNN, MSNBC, among thousands of others.

Now go take your nap little boy

Thanks for your useless input though

hahaha..

"One of the problems in discussing accuracy figures and the differences between the statistics quoted by proponents and opponents of the polygraph technique is the way that the figures are calculated. At the risk of over simplification, critics, who often don't understand polygraph testing, classify inconclusive test results as errors. In the real life setting an inconclusive result simply means that the examiner is unable to render a definite diagnosis. In such cases a second examination is usually conducted at a later date."

this from proponents of polygraphy (oh i used ur search terms to find this)
http://www.truthorlie.com/whyerr.html

THE POINT: IF we assume that inconclusive tests are NOT ERRORS and instead have to be just counted as missing data, it doesnt fukin matter if u 'achieve' a rate of accuracy in an isolated study of 96% because the fukin MARGIN of error would be so high that ur findings couldnt used as conclusive evidence for or against.

some of the intervening factors that make polygraphs unreliable:

-misinterpretation of the data on the charts
-lack of training and experience of the polygraph examiner
-counter-measures from the examinee
-a lack of quality control review
-equipment malfunction
-failure to properly prepare the examinee for the examination
-poorly worded test questions
-improper assessment of the examinee's emotional and physical condition ·
-improper use of testing techniques

quoting shit off google searches is as accurate a means of finding truth as predicting the weather by looking at a goat's ass.


EDIT: and NO, CNN and MSNBC dont fukin count as credible sources either.

And you claim that becasue there are 1000 articles, it must be true. What is your source? Google. You did not cite USA Today, CNN, MSNBC. For all we know, it could be 1000 web pages started by you and Sherk.

The fact that you can't tell the difference illustrates you have no ability to think logically.

Lie detector tests are a total waste of time!

They are not admissible in court, so what is the point?

He failed the piss test too sooooo.....

Besides, I believe that with enough time and preparation, anyone can fake a lie detector test.....
