This is what happens when you only talk to like-minded people and live in a bubble. There are still plenty of people I know who would reject foreign ideas simply because "pshaw. We can [do that/do it] better."
I mean I literally worked with a guy who got annoyed at the harmonized power cord I bought because it used IEC wire colors and "This is America where we use American wire colors, not that European shit. I taped the leads red white and blue!"
Can we not use examples from the bottom 5% of the population and extrapolate that to the entire population?
Also 99.99% chance the guy was making a joke.
> bottom 5% of the population
Where did that number come from?
> Also 99.99% chance the guy was making a joke.
If you have no idea who this person is how can you even begin to make such an assumption? You are in fact 100% wrong.
Not getting jokes is a skill issue, what can I say.
You can say you are wrong because you don't know the person at all.
I will say I have very low confidence that your perception of reality and actual reality match.
