Generation Legacy the Next Generation of OOC

Lie detector tests do work. Quite well, really. I know that some companies have made ones far more reliable and accurate than a simple polygraph. Although I'm pretty sure that I could beat one

Using a lie detector, just like using telepathy most likely, can't be used to prove guilt or innocence in a court of law. And it would be unseemly to use one in an interview.

Mark and Paragon have a good rapport I like that.

Mark's firmly in the thrall of his super-charisma, plus he's a logical role model, plus he's the semi-father figure Mark's never had and doesn't quite know how to deal with. He'd eat out of Paragon's hand if asked to.

I would assume with super intelligent invetors that it'd be possible to get 100% accuracy. While it may not hold up in court it would be a major point in the court of public opinion. I just don't want to make assumptions about the culture of technology in the Legacy verse.

Lie Detector Tests are quite accurate as is, the US Gov't uses them extensively, but for this matter this is a classy affair, not Jerry Springer; they want to hear what she has to say and not so much if it is true or not via some third party.

I'm a little lost. They have tried to avoid having evidence that could prove her claims twice now? By going forward before any proof was gathered, and then by refusing the lie detector test. I truly begin to doubt their dedication to journalism, or at least getting to the truth.

They don't do interviews with lie detector tests, that is trashy.

Not sure how they are avoiding it, they are doing their own investigative journalism, but they are giving Kelly a chance to respond to her detractors

Besides, I'm pretty sure that with her Bluff, Kelly could beat one. I think they're not dedicated since they won't give her exactly what she wants

A Lie detector test will prove she isn't lying, I am not sure if that will make people feel any better about living with disease ridden super heroes creatd by the world's number one terrorist and they are the only thing standing between the world and some alien being who wants to kill everyone.

Yeah Joe Normal should feel good about that.

Kelly's bluff comes from the fact that no one would believe she lies, she just gives off an 'I haven't got a deceitful bone in my body' vibe, its not from having a large amount of practice.

I don't think Kelly would stand a very good chance at passing a lie detector test (assuming she was lying) but since she is telling the truth it wouldn't be an issue.
