I wonder to what extent this was caused by people overcompensating for the lie detector.
How is being dishonest in the other direction going to help you pass a lie detector?
I suspect I missed the point of this comment.
Given the way memory works, people probably remember only the number they want to believe and a vague idea of which way they're biasing it. So when presented with a "lie detector" they try to compensate for their bias and wind up overcompensating.
