Japanese and German people CAN be very OCD, and also very blunt and to the point. All of the talk about the Japanese being polite and obtuse, that is for people who they don't already trust. When you are on the same level of trust and familiarity, you can say exactly what is on your mind in both cultures. That is why sometimes they become very good friends in business and have mutual respect and trust for one another in this day and age. I suspect that Red Bull are on this level with Honda, for example. They are probably operating on a very one to one level and being very OCD about their common goal.
