I had the (dis)pleasure of working with a German engineer once. The attitude of German superiority was strong in him. The idea that one of his designs might have a flaw could not make it thru his thick skull. It was our fault for using it wrong. Even when it broke for him, then it was inferior American parts. Which he specified since there are not many German made electronic components anymore.
I have heard this exists on a wider scale, and is possibly what is going on here.
