ABSTRACT

Detecting truth from deception is in no way a perfect science. I have heard some arrogant profilers, psychologists, and law enforcement officers publicly state that they can detect truth from deception in 90 to 100% of their cases. That is quite an impressive statistic considering the people who are the genuine experts very clearly stated that detecting deceit is a very complicated process that, at best, may have a success rate of approximately 30 to 80%. But arrogance will always foster some individuals making money with false reputations. Imagine that — deceitful people in the field of detecting truth from deception!
