When I started readying your article, I was dismissive.
The more I read, the more I agree.
I think this is a very valuable article. Kudos to you, and to the author.
If you enjoyed this, there’s a really great chapter along the same lines in the book Outliers. It describes how cultural differences can be blamed for some airplane disasters. The pilots from more timid cultures won’t say what they mean, for fear of offending, while our American air traffic controllers assume someone running out of fuel would mention that, loudly. It’s a fun read.
