Veritaserum and another survey

[corinthum]

3.8.4.3 Veritaserum
------------------------
Originally: 84
Now: 46
  
All you ever wanted to know about veritaserum...  How does it work? 
Does it uncover absolute truth or only truth as someone remembers it?
 When is it ethical or legal to use it?  Can it overcome Memory
Charms?  How reliable is it?

There were tons of "Why didn't ____ use Veritaserum on ____ to
corroborate/disprove his/her story/alibi/excuse?"  I kept the good
responses to these questions, but please leave the questions out. 
Discussions concentrating of the wizard court system without
discussing any specifics of veritaserum should stay out of this
category as well.  Also, the lie detector/sodium penthanol
it's-not-100%-accurate-so-not-admissible-in-court analogy has been
used to death, so no more of those.

And on a different note, I'm heading out on one last survey at the end
of the month, through mid-August.  Perhaps I can try to steal back the
Most Prolific Coder title from Ginger.  I'm not sure if any major
changes need to be made to my offline version of the database; there
have been a few category changes since my last update, and of course
I'll need the newest version of the giant posts-with-codes sql file. 
Anything else, Paul or Carolyn?
