Hello,

 

I think what is happening is something more broadly that I experienced, and named, when I worked for a couple of US companies years ago. It's called, by me, The Not Invented Here Syndrome.

 

If this booklet had been issued by the CDC or CLIA for example, then it would have been fine. But, horror of horrors, it was published by FOREIGNERS and so cannot be trusted or taken seriously.

Off topic, @Cublet, but I experienced the self same attitude in my career, when our UK company was trying to get approval for a new industrial antibacterial chemical through the EPA( Environmental Protection Agency). At one meeting with an agency reviewer, he stated outright - "Why should we approve this material from overseas, when I'm sure we have scientists expert enough to develop it over here"

Hello,

 

I don't think that was off-topic at all when it comes to the principle.

 

My favourite example of this comes from the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) says of Claude Lacombe (Francois Traffaut) 'How can he be in charge - he's not even American?'
