Because it takes years of testing, conditioning, measuring, etc. before it gives out any information. Spector's human fox is quick because it just takes one shot of the truth serum Pointsman is hankering to use on Slothrop, and it (he/she) blabs big time.

He injects them with serum so they can revisit and talk about their trauma. But is it serum therapy for the traumatized or testing the ability of the serum to get people to talk?
