See, once I interviewed an Indian, and he asked me, "how do you want me to do this?" First I could not believe the guy cannot solve this simple problem. Then I figured. He has more than one solution. So he's asking which one I would prefer. That's Indian mentality, Jain logic, navya nyaya logic. The Chinese approach is more or less the opposite. "You must know the only solution that is true". Pretty close to Russian mentality - "I know the truth, everyone else is an idiot." Mo Di, Gongsun Long were almost an exception.
