Right, but so much of that test is what the test taker perceives as the question. If he doesn't see a conflict between not telling who the did it and believing he isn't protecting that person, then his biology won't reflect an internal conflict about the two answers. That's why those tests are better geared toward the person of average intelligence, too dumb and you don't know any better, too smart and you either think past the common understanding or over analyze and produce false positives.
Knowing the actual wording of the question opens conjecture as to how the taker perceived the query and his answer.

Rarely do you ask the important question only once and in one way, and there's other questions being asked in addition to the important questions to "calibrate" things (get you to lie about something so they know what "lie" is, reset your heart rate after a stressful question, etc.).

I'm not saying they don't know they are lying, I'm saying it's not a lie to them. Knowing who did something but feeling no obligation to tell would allow one to honestly believe they aren't protecting the person who did it by not telling on them. They simply have no compulsion to tell and so are not. If that is the case, then the person answers as this show attender does and does not lie in the process.
Knowing the actual questions helps to determine if that is what's happening.
I know who ate the rest of the bag of chips last night. If you ask me if I know who ate them and if I honestly think I am not protecting the person who ate those chips by keeping silent about it, I would answer affirmative to both those questions and not be lying. That situation can occur with far less trivial matters as well and is more likely toi occur the more extreme the person's intelligence is (either extremely high or extremely low).

Of course, and a trained polygraph examiner engaging in a directed line of questioning should be able to sort that out. It would be interesting to see the actual polygraph exams in full, not just have the results read out.
Oh well...
