It's my understanding that the operator determines your innocence or guilt, truth or deception based upon the machine readings but 2 different operators can read the results differently so it is left to the operators discretion. If the operator believes that you are innocent or truthful then the results will coincide thus why they are inadmissible in court as a basis of fact. Many Polygraph operators will dispute this but it is what thought to be common knowledge of many. An accomplished liar or sociopath will pass polys without any problem :rolleyesedit: Scary huh
