I think the "realistic value" is that pee can't "lie."

When you take a census, or a poll people tell you there version of the truth they think you want to hear. For example, if the question is "do you use drugs?" -With a urine sample the answer is more definitive than relying on someones honesty. That said, I wouldn't want people collecting that type of information without my consent.
