There is an old joke that went like this (back when it made sense...).

  "How do you explain the Japanese economic miracle?" To which those  
of us who had seen the often constipated and occasionally downright  
barmy insides of small to mid-size Japanese companies would reply  
"there is no explanation - it was a genuine miracle...Plaise the  
Rord! (And encourage Him to do it again...)"

But the Japanese do the basics - like customer service - and handsets  
that work or are fixed pronto - right.

14% is astonishing - even given the "Which" tendency to exaggerate.
