More on the emptiness of the government’s “gold standard science” slogan

Yesterday we discussed the ridiculousness of the government mandating so-called gold standard science while at the same time promoting fraudulent, debunked, and flat-out fake research.

Since then, I came across a relevant news item, this one regarding the FBI:

Agents have been forced out. Others have been demoted or put on leave with no explanation. And in an effort to hunt down the sources of news leaks, Mr. Patel is forcing employees to take polygraph tests.

Polygraph tests are not gold standard science.
