Could this power detect only when someone is knowingly stating something false (intentionally lying) or when they are unknowingly stating something false (unintentionally not telling the truth) or both or anything else? Could this power be used to detect (discern) the differences? For example, what if (hypothetically) Arthur falsely (erroneously), but truly believed himself to be Sylar's father, but actually wasn't. What say you? -- [[User:Prander|prander]] 11:28, 9 December 2008 (EST) |

* I think you are asking the following: If Person A knew something to be the truth, but said fact was actually false, what would this power read? I think the power would read it as truth, because I think it's based on the bodily tell-tale sings of lying --{{User:SacValleyDweller/sig}} 11:39, 9 December 2008 (EST) |

Revision as of 18:31, 9 December 2008
| Ability Naming Conventions | |
|---|---|
| The following sources are used for determining evolved human ability names, in order: | |
| Episodes | |
| 2. Near-canon Sources | Webisodes, Graphic Novels, iStories, Heroes Evolutions |
| 3. Secondary Sources | Episode commentary, Interviews, Heroes: Survival |
| 4. Common names for abilities | Names from other works |
| 5. Descriptions of abilities | Descriptions |
| 6. Possessor's name | If no non-speculative description is possible |
| Source/Explanation | |
| Sylar referred to Sue as a "lie detector" (Our Father). | |
Renaming?
- I thought that Intuitive polygraphy would fit. But for now, "human lie detector" is the best choice since that is what Sylar called it. Mike 22:25, 8 December 2008 (EST)
- Are you sure he didn't call Sue a human lie detector? Sorry, I missed the first half hour of the episode, so I wouldn't know. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:26, 8 December 2008 (EST)
- That is exactly what I said. Mike 22:28, 8 December 2008 (EST)
- That would be nice, but didn't Sylar say something along the lines as "Lie detector/detection"? If so, according to the naiming convention the context of the episode would outrank anything else. However, if he didn't then I'm all for it.--OutbackZack 22:34, 8 December 2008 (EST)OutbackZack
- Nope, you said Sylar called it, referring to the ability itself, "human lie detector." Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:34, 8 December 2008 (EST)
- Whatever. I remember him saying something along the lines of "What you can do... Human lie detector... Must make it hard to trust anyone." In essence he was referring to both Sue and her ability. Mike 23:30, 8 December 2008 (EST)
- That is exactly what I said. Mike 22:28, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Limits?
Could this power detect only when someone is knowingly stating something false (intentionally lying) or when they are unknowingly stating something false (unintentionally not telling the truth) or both or anything else?
