That is a completely different subject… I was talking about the assumption that “only liars and guilty people get angry when questioned about an incident”… which is both incorrect and dangerous…

For example: The east-german SSD or Staatssicherheitsdienst, commonly known as Stasi, used to train their people to pay attention to the reactions of the subjects… If someone managed to keep their cool while being questioned by the agents, especially during long interrogations while at the same time, keep giving identical answers to the same questions… The agents were supposed to assume that the person in question was, in fact, guilty and that his/her answers were something prepared… whereas, if an individual, started off relatively calm, but, after a couple of hours, ( or days) of questioning started shouting, protesting, displaying aggression, and/or began changing minor details in their answers , then the person was most likely innocent since no guilty person would be so insane to risk antagonizing his interrogators — and ( since none of us a memory bank so strong to remember every detail to it's fullest ) the fact that there are changes in details of somebody-s answers was looked at as another piece of evidence that the person was telling the truth.

As for Kavanaugh… it has become a useless discussion with both sides acting and reacting according to their own emotions, and political preferences, instead of using their brains.… IF anything, it is just another example of the way the US has been polarized in the past decade or so. Both his supporters and his opponents are taking things that are completely unrelated and using them to “prove” their point, while none stops to pay attention to the arguments the other side has to offer.
