Absolutely Paul, that is a rather disturbing fact of trying to discern deceit. It's important to try and separate fact from fiction. For instance the old avoidance of eye contact trope in pop-psychology doesn't sit well with me as it wouldn't for many one the spectrum who find eye contact uncomfortable.
Although that research is interesting, there is also research showing that even trained psychologists, police officers, lawyers, detectives, judges, etc. are no better than chance at correctly identifying who is lying.
Fascinating Insta post - the work of Paul Ekman and his FACS measurements of facial muscles and the display of emotions can also be used to distinguish truth from lies.
I have a book written by a professor of applied social psychology - Aldert Vrij entitled 'Detecting Lies and Deceit: pitfalls and opportunities which goes over myths of lie detection as well as those useful tips mentioned in that link you shared.
What I liked about this book was the scientific way in which it treated the subject matter and as such differs from much of the pop-psychology literature available.
It seems to be that the best 'system' is a multifaceted approach utilizing the work of psychologists such as Ekman.
