As one of those who do hold this belief, I will admit that it is 
asserted by LV, not by any others that I recall; but never in the four 
books is LV proved wrong at detecting lies. He is the master of lies 
himself.  I think that JKR placed this constraint on those opposing LV 
to make it more interesting.
