Line 86:
** It may have been snark, but it was also based on truth. Some of the latest research indicates that people who are lying are more likely to look you in the eyes to make you believe what they're saying and people who are comfortable in what they are saying tend to look in any direction they feel like because they don't need to fully concentrate on what they're saying.
** There [[Ms. Fanservice|is a reason]] why Sophie doesn't often deal with men looking directly into her eyes.
* In the last minute of an episode of ''[[Bull]]'' a federal agent accused of providing inaccurate testimony about a supposedly wrongfully convicted man "proves" she saw everything clearly by identifying the murder weapon as a "9mm Glock". Besides being incredibly non-specific in reality (Glock has made '''10''' separate models in 9x19mm, and an additional 3 in 9x17mm, with as many as five different generations for each. These models and generations ''are'' distinguishable from each other), identifying a pistol as "9mm" at half the distance she saw the man is essentially impossible even on a still photograph with the muzzle in focus. In reality this confidence in a fact she could not physically have witnessed (but could have easily learned from elsewhere) points towards her knowledge having been contaminated by other evidence, if not outright deliberately perjurous, rendering her eyewitness testimony dubious.
