Audience member observes that Americans are often assumed to be direct while British (as Amelia's examples showed) are indirect — and asks whether there are unobvious cases (Germans? Italians?) where the common assumption is wrong and causes communication problems. Amelia answers it's a hard question requiring per-nation research, but mentions the coconut-vs-peach distinction: Americans seem direct at first contact but often turn out not to be once cooperation deepens (example: Americans rejecting a work version without saying what to correct). Polish people and Scandinavians are more coconut — harder initial contact, then direct and building strong bonds. Personal factors also matter — some people are just hard to work with.
