Not really. I did go to college for a while, but determined that it wasn't my thing. What knowledge I do have has been amassed by experience, targeted study, simple observation or by random chance. I'll get curious about a thing, look it up, theorize about what implications it might have in a science fiction story, etc, etc. The only reason I know how to pick standard pin-and-tumbler locks is because I got curious one day and looked it up.The thing about ARA devices is that they only register changes in the human body. The whole "lie detector" thing has never been conclusively proven to be an effective or reliable technology because of the fact that stress does not only happen when a person lies. If a person worries, for example, that the truth will be perceived as a lie, that stress can trigger the machine. Again, I saw a thing I was curious about and studied it for a day.Anyone can do it, honestly. All you need is an internet connection and an inquisitive mind.
