You don't really beat the machine, it doesn't say anything other than what your body did when you answered a question.

At least when I had mine - that's how the examiner explained it to me. You never beat the machine, it's a measurement device. You beat bad questions/examiners.

I do wonder how society would be were we to simply do away with all law enforcement and let the citizens handle things themselves...
