This goes a step further though.

Because they are questioning you while "on the cans", your skin's electrical conductivity will change naturally even if being completely honest. These momentary blips will cause the person conducting the interview to ask you more personal, more intimate questions, with the goal of you over sharing.

Basically they use the flawed technology that is the lie detector and based an entire religion around it.

Honestly not a bad idea, if I'm being completely honest and devoid of human empathy.
