Mr. Williams is being charged with fraud for showing a machine and technique for being a fraud. Mr Williams is not being deceptive during a test, the person being 'tested' might be but that's the problem of the agency giving the test not actually conducting a real review of a persons activities and depending on the threat of some bogus test to make people disclose information. What the government wants to protect IMO is not the results of testing that are easily manipulated but the implied threat of taking a 'Poly' as a tool to induce voluntary disclosures of matters from most people that are not really criminal but embarrassing and could be used to coerce in some manner should they get out of line.
