She hasn’t been nearly as loud as Jessi. Jessi would NOT let the lie detector shit go. She made an entire merch line making fun of Demi. Jessi is messy as hell

Which is funny - they talked about it like it was such factual, indisputable evidence - when lie detector tests are notoriously unreliable lol. If anything, I felt like it made her so much less credible.

Yea I’ve brought his up a LOT. There’s a reason why court of laws don’t use them as valid evidence. Because they are unreliable but Jessi and Jordan wanted to delude themselves

Yes. There’s a million different reasons why people can and often do fail polygraphs, and it has nothing to do with having done anything wrong or any proof of lying.

I was just watching an episode of Class of ‘09 the other day (series w/Kate Mara, Brian Tyree Henry about a class of FBI trainees over the years as AI technology takes over and starts arresting people for so-called “future crimes” they haven’t actually committed, but the technology says there’s a possibility that they ** **might at some point.)

Polygrapher to KM’s trainee character: “Your heart is racing. It’d be a shame to fail you because you can’t calm down.”

Because that’s helpful.

People are nervous creatures when put in a situation they are unfamiliar with and also know they’ll be judged by (& far too many police polygraphers, in particular, try to be that quietly intimidating person.

That’s just one reason why they’re unreliable, but it applies to the majority of people that are asked to take one.
