					<description><![CDATA[I think that whether or not this type of research might impede our social relationships depends entirely on the ignorance of those employing its findings.

If you were to give the average person on the street a device which could accurately detect deception at a 95% or better accuracy rate, then as a whole, it would ruin relationships. Not because of the device itself, or because of a deficiency in the relationships, but because of the shock at how frequent deception occurs benignly in everyday life. Does the middle-aged housewife REALLY want to know if her outfit makes her look fat, or does she just want confirmation from her husband that he still loves her and that she&#039;s perfectly adequate for his needs and desires? Or maybe she just needs a little ego boost because of some ill-thought-out comment from a checker at the grocery store.

How much damage the results of this kind of research can do is totally dependent on the depth of our understanding of its meaning and place in our lives. If someone truly, deeply understands the way the relationships in their lives work, then the above device would have little impact on them other than maybe helping them make a few better choices.

As always, it&#039;s not the knowledge itself, but the ignorance surrounding that knowledge which poses the biggest threat.]]></description>
