I'm pretty sure the point of the lie detector that it conveys essentially no information. Real lie detectors are notoriously unreliable.
I thought it was a nice touch.
Worse than unreliable - they read "stress" pretty much whenever an accusatory question is asked (since being accused of things, even falsely, is stressful), which means that ignorant users will pretty much always conclude that the person being questioned is guilty.
