I do business with Germany and other countries regularly. It's amazing how strict they are. Almost every time I ask a question about solving a problem by doing something a little different than normal, the answer comes back "It's Not Possible". They say it so officiously that I can barely hold back from laughing sometimes.

The irony is that because europeans are so obessed with box-cchecking and rule following, europeans are not good at any kind of indepenent or cirtical thought and they don't like it. Germany also is a very high trust society, which means that they tend to take statements at face value without knowing what to check.
The average frustrated european is much better educated than the average frustrated American, but the europeans tend to be bland, predictable, and much of a muchness. Critical thinking as I said, is mistrusted.

Gross generalizations.
Wait, are you saying Germans are dour, rule-bound nitpickers with an ominous accent? Well, I never!
(Very happy my ancestors GTFO of Germany in the 1880s.)
