Say, Barry, is this the "leading expert" whose lecture about lying you watched?
The woman whose article about signs of lying that Xeno linked to, Pamela Meyer, "is founder and CEO of Calibrate http://calibrate-inc.com/, a leading deception detection training company, and of social networking company Simpatico Networks. She holds an MBA from Harvard, an MA in Public Policy from Claremont Graduate School, and is a Certified Fraud Examiner. She has extensive training in the use of visual clues and psychology to detect deception." Barry shoots himself in the foot...again: Always believe Judy. Because, as she has said many times, "I never lie." > Researchers into lying would find this claim rather suspect, because in > their studies they've never found a > single individual who *never* lies. Love it, love it, love it. From the article Xeno linked to ("10 Ways Liars Use Words To Obscure the Truth"):: Liars give very specific denials. We’ve already discussed the human impulse to avoid implicating ourselves. So we can expect liars to be very particular in what they say and don’t say. Truth-tellers have no problem issuing categorical denials—I never cheated anyone in my whole life—where as the liar will choose his words ever so carefully. Ooooooooooopsie...
