Wonder Woman’s lasso does significantly better than our real world equivalent of at best, measuring somebody’s stress when you’ve intentionally put them in a stressful situation.

Wonder woman’s lasso doesn’t even detect lies. It just forces you to speak the truth with a varying compulsion to reveal secrets depending on author.
Calling it a lie detector is an odd thing when it’s the one thing it can’t do

I think that’d actually be a pretty easy thing to use as a lie detector, just wrap the thing around whomever and say “say that again”.

Or literally just ask “were you lying”?

Scumbag caught by the lasso: “That again.”

Ah yes because people are always 1100% saying exactly what they mean instead of using jokes, hyperbole and other stuff. Just in case a pedant walks by and goes “hurr durr not a lie detector” when it’s perfectly understandable to both people talking what they mean.
