Hahah... lord Jaysus, lemme tell you this

Your statement presupposes at face value the thin' ye call a truth machine, a polygraph, is more valid than a photocopier for finding truth

In reality, they're both built for different uses, and aren't even supposed to be used for lie detecting

(a polygraph measures your heartbeat and anything that moves in your internal body; anything that's unusually high beeps, whether or not tis a lie)

So, if ye think about, a photo copier is as valid as a truth machine in finding any truth, which it doesn't....

I think even the inventor of it regretted making it

Due to differing methods of using his device that Larson felt were incorrect and abusive by some law enforcement, he eventually came to regret having invented it, writing in 1965:

“Beyond my expectation, thru uncontrollable factors, this scientific investigation became for practical purposes a Frankenstein’s monster, which I have spent over 40 years in combating.”[14]
