Regardless of any of his other points, I almost stopped reading when I came across this artifact of the 90s,

"The Japanese boast the world's most advanced cell phones, and the biggest and best high-definition television screens."

Maybe we can give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he just doesn't know anything about tech, but is he trying to say that Galapagos phones are more advanced than (Apple/Android/WebOS/Windows/etc) smartphones?

And for TVs, I guess he's just trying to say that he thinks Sony and Sharp are bigger and better than Samsung, LG, etc?

These are the kind of empty statements that make you sound like an amateur and completely detract from your point even if you have a valid argument.



Perhaps he is talking about the Japanese consumers rather than the Japanese suppliers.
