I actually came up with a link that addresses the shortcomings, AND the function of lie detectors. You posted text.
Yeah, I posted text ... and you posted a link to text ... what the hell do those things have to do with anything?
Simply stated, when the questioning gets complex, the problems arise.

LMAO.
Absolutely nowhere in the text you linked to is it ever claimed (or even implied) that lie detectors ever actually detect any lies (no matter how "simple" the questioning may be).
There are, however, numerous and explicit statements that just repeat and confirm what I have already said. Hell, the whole damn article is essentially nothing more than an elaboration upon what I have already said - namely, that "lie detectors" are NOTHING but a tool of interrogation used to put interviewees on the defensive in hopes of "rattling" them and shaking something actionable out of them. That is all. Nothing more. (And that's exactly the kind of thing that sociopaths would be very good at beating.)
I think not. Simple questions based on campaign promises, then follow ups on the same issues should provide consistency that is easy to see.
"Simple" questions will the easiest ones of all for sociopaths to handle.Besides which, "simplicity" is utterly irrelevant. Lie detectors DO NOT detect lies.
(And you certainly don't need a "lie detector" to detect inconsistency, either - anyone with a functioning brain can do that ...)
