I made a very small and highly defensible claim. You argued that this article (by David Oks) is an example of "how Westerners idealize Japan." I argued that this article does not idealize Japan, and that, if you interpreted Oks' article that way, then you didn't understand the article. I didn't say that Japanese business culture is more "horizontal" than Western business culture, or that Japanese business culture is better in any particular way. I didn't even say that the article is right or wrong about anything. All I did was to restate the thesis statement of the article, to clarify what the article actually says. I don't harbor any particular affinity for Japan, or Japanese business culture. I know very little about it. I'm not an authority to speak on it, and I didn't. You assumed what I believe without understanding what I wrote. You did exactly the same thing to me that you did to David Oks.

  From pfp Oks is upper middle class hafu There's almost no way these guys (low pass filter)can see the water they have been breathing since they were born unless they've had first hand experience that wakes them up (high pass filter) Add to that (Western) (indie?) game-makers and hafu are both predominantly right-wing.. far-right, if you take a global perspective. Polite to the point of being offensive, though. :) Perhaps there are very very few opportunities in which to feel a loss of control in real life, or trained since infancy That said, there's seems to be still a lot of useful info in article that bears "bookmarking"..

You say you know very little about it, but that didn't keep you from posting? This isn't what HN is about.
