Polygraph tests are 20th-century witchcraft.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Polygraphs have sparked a fierce debate for at least a century.
I am not opposed to the limited use of polygraphs in a case where a person is suspected of wrongdoing. But widespread use of the polygraph as a screening tool goes far beyond what is acceptable.
Polygraphs are not allowed as evidence in most U.S. courts, but they're routinely used in police investigations, and the Defense Department relies heavily on them for security screening.
Magicians have done controlled testing in human perception for thousands of years.
Art is an investigation.
Without advances, medicine regresses and reverts to witchcraft.
Witchcraft is one of the most baseless, absurd, disgusting and silly of all the humbugs.
The plain truth is that the period I study is the 16th century, and they were absolutely obsessed with witches and spiritual beings.
In the past, men created witches: now they create mental patients.
Later, I went down to the Washington field office and an onsite polygraph was administered.
