However, something like "did you forget to call me last night?" is not a great example.

I bring this up more because this is the kind of thing most people are interested in lie detection for, and they're hoping to get an excuse to say "Aha! I caught you!" as if that was proof of anything.

Most people aren't in MI, or police detectives, which is the lion's share of relevance.

Absolutely.

I only referred to one technique for checking the veracity of a complex story.

There is a reason this role exists as a trade with considerable training.
