I think it's a spectrum. "Looking at how people pay in Massachusetts, I would think that our approach wouldn't have made any sense to someone who hadn't seen California first hand." (practically identical) "Looking at how people pay in the US, I would think that our approach wouldn't have made any sense to someone who hadn't seen Germany first hand." (probably mostly the same, but I haven't been to Germany recently) "Looking at how people pay in the US, I would think that our approach wouldn't have made any sense to someone who hadn't seen New Zealand first hand." (Looks mostly the same on the surface, but NZ relies heavily on a system called EFTPOS) "Looking at how people pay in South Africa, I would think that our approach wouldn't have made any sense to someone who hadn't seen Kenya first hand." (probably very similar, but from what I gather there are some differences. I haven't been to South Africa) "Looking at how people pay in the US, I would think that our approach wouldn't have made any sense to someone who hadn't seen Kenya first hand." (very different. M-Pesa is king in Kenya) "Looking at how people pay on Venus, I would think that our approach wouldn't have made any sense to someone who hadn't seen Earth first hand." (theoretical maximum difference)
