This rings so true and I only ever took one polygraph test. I was a nerdy 21 year old and they told me I had failed on the marijuana use question and encouraged me to think about it and come back and retry. I remember being very confused. I withdrew my application and never went back. I wonder how many others gave up on a job opportunity because it was drug abuse Wednesday or whatever.

Isn't the whole point to not lie about anything, so that later on it cannot be used to blackmail you?
I didn't lie. Did you read the article? Apparently the point is to break you down, to see how strongly you challenge the interviewer, and assorted other things which are not about telling the truth.
