There is no control for false positives and false negatives. WE are held responsible for the decisions we make in this life. The test works, but that does not mean that we are guaranteed to make the "optimal" decision. The wicked will find what they are looking for, and the righteous as well. In reality, the test is not about the Gospel, the test is all about us, the individual. Alma 32 is a test of our character, our desires, what kind of person we are. There are no "false positives", only about the decision we make. "It is impossible for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves against the law." Cecil B. DeMille 1

While this device has no known scientific basis, if the use of the e-meter in auditing gave someone perceived improvement, would they be justified in believing in the efficacy of the e-meter? Well, I don't know about all that, but what I really want to see is the circuit diagram of this e-meter! Oh, wait, here it is: This of course is the vacuum-tube version; the transistorized version will have a similar circuit layout. Here's the interesting history of this device: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-meter
