"So what was Othello's error? Not the failure to spot how Desdemona was feeling, for he knew she was anguished and afraid. His error was believing that emotions have only one source--he interpreted her anguish as due to the news of her supposed lover's death and her fear as that of an unfaithful wife caught in betrayal. He kills her without considering that her emotions were those of an innocent woman who knows that her intensely jealous husband is about to kill her and she cannot prove her innocence."

P.S.: Em Portugal os resultados de polígrafos não são admitidos como prova em tribunal, pois não é consensual a sua cientificidade.
