Thank you. I can’t count how many people in those days attributed (for example) Japanese manufacturing success to visibly foreign things like karaoke and radio exercises when the real story was something vastly more interesting about factory management and how you coordinate the efforts of a lot of people to make a good car.

Unlike American lines, where they defective cars would just roll on by. When Toyota and other Japanese makers started building in the USA, surprise, surprise, their cars made here were just as good as the ones from Japan.
