Ok but are applicants for intelligence jobs that naive/uninformed? I’m not particularly intelligent or informed but I’ve come across articles and books debunking polygraphy many times over the past 20 years. It’s not very obscure information. Scary to think that our “best and brightest” can’t be bothered to do cursory research. Also if I was facing a polygraph you can be damn sure I’d research it ahead of time. Are candidates not doing this?
