Re: Are you a human lie detector?
This is a very interesting article.
"She and her colleagues have so far screened 13,000 people for their ability to catch a liar on videotape. "We found 14 people who we called ultimate experts," she said." I wonder how many of the 13,000 ever sat at a poker table??? Living, Learning, and Laughing Big Steve [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |

Yeah, I wonder what the results would be if she just tested top live players.

Re: Are you a human lie detector?
I don't know how this was carried out but it seems clear that if you showed a bunch of tapes to a bunch of random people who each completely guessed whether someone was lying, there would still emerge a small group who would get the right answer over 90% of the time.

Re: Are you a human lie detector?
Is it possible to carry out a study like the one mentioned in the article where luck is not the most likely explanation for an above average score?

Re: Are you a human lie detector?
I think you are exactly right. I don't remember how to do the calculations (damn marijuana) but I'm sure that number of "experts" would fall in the normal range of standard deviation for that sample size. Where's sample size man?

Nope, I actually live in Colorado. I'm a lifelong diehard Cards fan though.

I grew up in Houston, but lived in StL the last few years and got to be a Cards fan. I wasn't gonna root for either one but found myself pulling for the Cards. I'm not sure if it's out of habit or what but gotta go with it. Either way I figure I've got someone to pull for in the Series for once.

Re: Are you a human lie detector?
Agreed. THis brings to mind the "Swami Pastrami" article Arnold Snyder posted in Blackjack Forum years ago. I know it's been printed on the net somewhere, but the jist of it was he told one million of his followers to bet on the number 13 in roulette continously until they were at one million dollars, and like 14 of them made 1 million dollars, thus "proving" his system worked, as the people who didn't win 1 million mostly looked at it as they only lost $100. My Numbers arent exact on final million winners, but you get the point.
