A polygraphy doesn't actually say "truth" or "lie".. it records vital signs, and the assessor makes a determination based on the results of the vital sign readings vs. typical human bodily reactions to telling lies. It's not a guaranteed method by any means, and that's why polygraphy results aren't eligible to be submitted as evidence in court.
