In his defense, polygraph is just pseudo-science bullshit. You "fail" or "pass" depending on what the one doing it wants you to do. It is just made up.

    I agree, but funnily enough it's still used in counterintelligence

    I don't know why, but my guess would be. Everyone involved knows it is bullshit, the people working there, management, etc.. but it gives a good loophole to fire anyone that is starting to stir up something, "oh, he/she failed the polygraph."

    The people working there knows it, so they are more likely to stay in line so they can "pass" their annual test.
