Its also said by people who are looking for reasons to pin you for something. They don't want you to measure what you say so that you will say something they can catch you in without thinking even if you genuinely didn't do anything wrong. It's literally the reason you never talk to the cops lmao.

Who needs actual evidence when you can use wild guesses based on a person's body language?

I’m pretty sure there’s a whole bunch of “only people who lie do X” where X is just something people do when they’re nervous or something. Does this person look worried because they’re lying or because they assume you won’t trust them regardless of whether you’re telling the truth?

Most people are less sentient than cattle IMO. Moving from stimulus to stimulus without a careful considered thought between their ears.
