This is entirely BS. The actual study looked specifically at the emotional content of isolated words, it has nothing to do with conveying semantic meaning. I think there was another study about finding people trustworthy, same sort of thing.

The so called traits of a lair are really just the traits of a nervous person mixed with a few other things such as delay required for the story to be improvised.


I agree.

The worst bit is, none of these signs apply to the best liars of all, sociopaths. The reason for it is that sociopaths don't feel guilty, and seldom nervous.

This sort of "list of signs" is worse than useless, it's misleading.
