Reading body language isn’t speaking to emotions. We all pay attention to
more than just the words when we interactively listen to someone. Police
officers pay attention to body language and inflections, judges do when
deciding cases and trying to determine which one’s lying, lawyers use it when
selecting jury members, parents use it when trying to determine if their kids
are telling the truth or how they really feel about something, etc. Even dogs
react to and exhibit body language.



Yes, I used to watch that Lie To Me too.

But one could have training and coaching to overcome a lot of this. The show had examples of certain kinds of personalities where they could fool an expert on body language.

One could also use body language to imply that they are lying so that others believe that they are aren’t telling the truth.

I suspect that you believe that body language is generally biomechanical. Would you agree that bias is as well?
