Going after polygraphs as an employment test would be a huge misprioritization borne solely out of an ironically irrational hatred of irrationality.<p>Employers can and do ask candidates far more bullshitty things like &quot;are you passionate about providing good customer service&quot; or &quot;what&#x27;s your greatest weakness&quot; as a criterion for employment, and check peoples&#x27; credit history and facebook timelines.
