One of the things I find interesting as well, is that among many of my friends outside the western world, they typically see: "knowing how something is made" as a western cultural thing. Many of them adopt a "why do you care how it's made, you are a not a manufacturer" type of response. Which i find very interesting.

They still care about the quality of the product, just not the process as much. Not sure if this the case for all people or a generalization. Just something I noticed.
