I liked when she had to keep re-checking her script for the real emotional parts that were so life-changing for her.
Psh
Total bs.

As some have posted, reading body language is not an exact science. Sure. But what science of the human mind is?
As some have posted, we could find an expert claiming something different about her actions during the testimony. Probably true, but where are those experts?
Here we have someone who studies this and lends her insight. It may not be 100% bulletproof but it sure is enlightening.
Thanks for posting this.
Following Ford's interview she was given a polygraph examination with the following two questions: Is any part of your statement false? Did you make up any part of your statement? Ford answered "no" to both questions. "Blasey's responses to the above relevant questions are not indicative of deception," the report read. Two more analyses of Ford's responses also suggested she had been truthful.

This is about as scientific as the polygraph test.
But I have a feeling you don't trust the polygraph results do you?

If she's a "body language" expert, she should know it's impossible to determine a person's truthfulness based on nonverbal cues alone.

Overview The concept is named, echoing Occam's razor, for the journalist and writer Christopher Hitchens, who in a 2003 Slate article formulated it thus: "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence".[1][2] The dictum also appears in God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, a book by Hitchens published in 2007.[3] Hitchens's razor is actually an English translation of the Latin proverb quod grātīs asseritur, grātīs negātur ("What is freely asserted is freely dismissed"), which was commonly used in the 19th century.[4][5] It takes a stronger stance than the Sagan standard ("Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"), instead applying to even non-extraordinary claims.
She holds a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology: Research Design, and, according to the Palo Alto University website, has a teaching/research emphasis in statistics

Claims brought with no evidence can be dismissed with no evidence.
