It can't fake a log without actually doing work >= the purported work of the log.

If the AI knows that is being analysed in practise the cognitive decisions it does is a form of output as the analysis is causally dependent on the cognitive choices.

What I'm aparantly failing to get across to you is that meta-level thinking wlil also be reflected in the output of the deception detector. The deception detector always by design operates one level higher than the program being audited.
