Why use a known fraudulent technique? Explain why it’s more beneficial than just thoroughly vetting and interviewing/interrogating candidates.

It’s embarrassing.

Edit: It’s odd how you seem to be trying to make this a personal/emotional thing about wanting to lie to the MIC, etc. If I was a huge supporter of the intelligence community I’d want them to quit wasting time, money, and credibility on an ineffective scam. Also I explicitly stated that I’m not particularly intelligent so why you are painting me as a know-it-all for daring to question this practice.

Enlighten me, please.

Interrogation is a real thing that works. Scientology e-meter type bs is not.

Quite a few people will become stressed out just having their blood pressure taken. Stress makes people trip up if you're trying to interrogate them

lie detectors are interrogation tools. their actual efficacy is secondary to perceived
