But also, they have a population of 125m people and surely one would expect a rich country with a large population to produce high achievers in plenty of fields.

I saw in the news last week that Japanese attempts to make a jet airliner have ended in failure. Perhaps making planes is the wrong sort of perfectionism!

Note that I know bugger all about Japan and I’m quite willing to be wrong, but the basic fact of a large, rich population has to be quite a driver.

Considering that there are only two manufacturer of jet airliners in the world, and one of them would have already failed after building a jet that habitually crashed—if they had not been supported by the richest country in the world, I gather that it is extremely hard to manufacture them.

Well exactly, which is why “dedication to perfectionism” doesn’t strike me as a good answer for success in almost any field. With the proviso that Duncan knows far, far more about Japan and its culture than I ever will.

Also Mickael was much hotter with the tied back braids  :whatever:
