I am more with you although I don't really like this show and rarely get to watch it.

He has with his team helped many with addictions and as you say finding Fathers or siblings for people.

I do get annoyed at times with his hardline attitude which I think he spouts off unfairly a lot of the time too.
Then again I look at the people who go on the show, very few have any idea at all how to conduct themselves in public.

He probably does more good than bad to people and they do volunteer themselves to go on the show after all.
However there is good reason that lie detectors are not admissible as fact or accurate as evidence in law and that is simply the fact they are not reliable enough.

He places at times too much emphasis on the results of lie detectors and I would agree with those who say that a good number may well have had relationships and in part their lives ruined by wrong lie detector results.
