As much as I do not want to defend DeJoy, this is nonsense.

First of all: correlates with these behaviors amongst whom? How would you even begin to build a meaningful dataset around "braggadocio"? 1/ https://twitter.com/DrGJackBrown/status/1297380450508214273
Or, you know, the exceedingly hot lights of a TV set or stage. Come on. 2/ https://twitter.com/DrGJackBrown/status/1297380636395630592
Lack of eye contact = suspicious is regularly weaponized against those who appear in court. It’s nonsense.

If you’re not trained to look directly into the camera, doing so causes anxiety — for everyone, regardless of “honest intentions.” 3/ https://twitter.com/DrGJackBrown/status/1297380967716229122
Yeah I’m gonna want to see data here. Cameras and screens are rarely aligned, I’d be AMAZED if eye contact wasn’t through the floor. 4/ https://twitter.com/DrGJackBrown/status/1297381623642484738
“Quadrant glances” are the polygraphs of body language. 5/ https://twitter.com/DrGJackBrown/status/1297382312762437632
Again, lighting. Spotlights can easily sail north of 85°F. Even accounting for that, the man is testifying — of COURSE he’s anxious. 6/ https://twitter.com/DrGJackBrown/status/1297382637141549056
Holy shit, my dude, the long “e” comes before a vowel-leading word like “insinuation.” I’m trying to give benefit of the doubt, but this is just you not knowing English pronunciation. 7/ https://twitter.com/DrGJackBrown/status/1297384694871232512
No, they’re not, they’re found with people who are expressing anxiety.

He’s testifying.

Over _Zoom._ You’d laugh or stammer too. 8/ https://twitter.com/DrGJackBrown/status/1297386305156837378
This thread goes on for a total of 43 points in service of getting us to believe on thing: DeJoy is acting in bad faith.

But we can assume that from his politics and his _actions_. He’s bold-face sabotaging the USPS.

We don’t need to flirt with phrenology to get there.
Don’t believe bunk science.

Don’t perpetuate bunk science.

Even if you agree with the conclusion, it does far more harm that good.
