I once heard about a meeting where someone did a presentation for the best part of an hour to a room full of Japanese people. They all nodded along, smiling as the presentation progressed. It wasn’t until the end that the presenter asked them what they thought. They all just kept smiling, but no answer. Someone at the front turned and talked to the room (in Japanese) then turned to the presented and said “they do not speak any English, but they are sure from this presentation that you are very, very intelligent”.
I feel like the Japanese people. I don’t understand what you’re doing here but I am convinced it is very clever.
