Isn't this a fun game to play?

How I regard the Japanese has nothing to do with the position that the Japanese are inherently better equipped to deal with unforseen circumstanes than anyone else. Aside from failing to addressed the questions I posed that challenged your premise, there is one more point to ponder: the Japanese have had 5 weeks, yet we are no closer to seeing the fantastical novel robotic solution to Fukushima that you hypothesize. When can we expect to see that.

By the way, employing classic deflection tactics such as questioning my motivations for being here instead of answering challenges to your stated position suggests you are not as confident in your position as you would like to believe. Yes, the Japanese are good at academic subjects, but they suck at innovation-they are good at improving others' ideas.
