The Gentle Art of Semantic Presence

The Gentle Art of Semantic Presence
Law enforcement officials have had the techniques for cognitive interrogation available since the publication of The Gentle Art of Interviewing and Interrogation: A Professional Manual and Guide by Robet F. Royal and Steven R. Schutt http://goo.gl/dw5AXM since 1976. And, currently individuals like retired Sergeant Derek Pacifico instruct law enforcement officials all over the world in the techniques.

David Amerland joins the cognitive dots of the science that now verifies this technique and relates it to the semantic verification of details. Truth comes from truth. Intimidation does not draw out details but makes the mind "dissociate" and go blank. 

We are finally beginning to understand that semantics, the relational connection of many different facts in many different ways is what creates trustworthiness in their veracity. The technique works whether we are mining information across the web (via a search engine) or tapping into a person's mind during interrogation via questioning.

When journalists trained in data analysis and visualization, http://www.peteraldhous.com/ present a case and mention that TV and film represent interrogation as torture, but leave out the data that law enforcement officials practice, and have been practicing, "cognitive" interrogation for a long time. I notice the missing dot. 
Omitting an essential bit of information to make a strong point, is a disservice to law enforcement men and women who do practice in the grey area of dealing with the details of crime, whether large or small, with integrity and scientific methods. And, in this case promulgates the myth. It also calls in question the style of information dissemination.
That bureaucratic government bodies ignored information readily available is not the subject of this small post.
Fortunately, the semantic web allows me to present a dot.
