Behavior analyst and body language expert Scott Rouse reportedly opened up to News Nation that Elizabeth Holmes' deception cannot be decoded in A24's new docufilm, You Can See Everything's trailer because the real Holmes had psychopathic traits.
He explained that psychopaths often display deception because their brains function differently. He further pointed out that the amygdala and other parts of the limbic system do not connect properly with the rest of the brain.
Rouse spent decades studying the signals people send without saying a word, and therefore his analysis of people's behavior is worth noting. He has earned several certifications in advanced interrogation methods and trained with the Department of Defense, FBI, U.S. Military Intelligence, and Secret Service. His strong background in practical nonverbal communication has made him a trusted expert and advisor to the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies.

Scott Rouse explained Elizabeth Holmes' deception in You Can See Everything
As per News Nation, the body language expert stated that Elizabeth Holmes' deception cannot be decoded in the trailer of the new docufilm titled You Can See Everything. He said,
"It's hard to tell if she's being deceitful or not. However, in my opinion, we're dealing with a psychopath, looking at her history.
He added,
"So when you're dealing with something like that, you're probably seeing some kind of deception in a situation like this."
He gave a reason, saying that Elizabeth's intense eye lock showed the real-time stare of a psychopath. In his opinion, psychopaths behave differently because their brain does not work like that of a normal person.
The amygdala and other parts of the limbic system fail to connect properly with the rest of the brain. Consequently, the situation makes them act in ways that feel unnatural to others. One clear action is their ability to stare directly at someone without discomfort.
Rouse also mentioned that in the trailer, the man remained silent while Elizabeth Holmes continued to stare at him. Rouse characterized the prolonged eye contact as unusual for two people who, based on the trailer, do not appear to be romantically involved. He finally described that this unusual behavior is a sign of deception that cannot be easily decoded.
