How do polygraph tests tell the difference between a lie and genuine anxiety?

Like – if it’s based on a person’s physiological responses, isn’t it possible that a response to a question like “did you murder your hamster” would register as a lie due to the increase in heart rate and blood pressure cause of anxiety associated with being accused of something?

Never under any circumstances take a lie detector test. It will never prove your innocence but will always be used against you if you fail. It is completely inaccurate and useless.

EDIT: Exception is if it’s required for a very high paying job.
