(A note about TV and entertainment polygraph exams:
Most exams were actually conducted off-camera.
What you see on TV is usually a pretend exam
filmed next, for TV purposes. The movements,
unusual questions and silly answers are not
what you can expect on a real examination.
Plus, many have 'scripted', predetermined',
or 'known solution' results.)
