peer agreement (net): +1truth machine Explanation: The expression, truth machine, has rooted itself amongst the public as a name for the polygraph apparatus -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 mins (2013-10-03 10:27:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This name is essentially erroneous. In contrast to the understanding from the expression, truth machine, the polygraph is not a machine that determines whether an expression is the truth or a lie at the push of a button. It is, instead, an apparatus that assists the polygraph expert to determine lies. Reference: http://www.gazit-poly.co.il/page71.html |

Μάλλον πρόκειται περί αυτοσχεδιασμού, αλλά δεν νομίζω ότι μπορείτε να κάνετε κι αλλιώς. Εκτός αν πείτε απλά "some kind of lie detector/polygraph machine" Καλή συνέχεια! |
