As evidence for this I offer the observation that Japanese people living in London have a completely different (and often more critical) view of the city than Japanese people who have never even visited it. Amazing eh?

Indeed. He is actually suggesting that people with information about and experience of something have a different view of it than people with very little of the former and none of the latter. The thing is Tacky, I think you may well be on to something far more profound than you realise! It may not only be non Japanese who display this behaviour but you may have stumbled upon a universal truth! As evidence for this I offer the observation that Japanese people living in London have a completely different (and often more critical) view of the city than Japanese people who have never even visited it.

If you have stomach cancer Japan is probably a good place to be because the high rates here mean doctors have a lot of experience dealing with it. If you're suffering from a gunshot wound, you'd be much better off in the trauma center of a major urban area in the US. If you're pasty white and have skin cancer, I hear Australia is the place to be. Of course if you weren't in those places in the first place, you might not have those particular issues to deal with. Chicken and egg, man. Chicken and egg.
One area where the US is light years ahead of Japan based on my experience, is sports medicine. The rehab for injuries in America is fucking amazing. Japanese orthopedist still tend to just give you medicine and tell you to take it easy. In the US, they're aggressive about getting you moving ASAP.

Yep, I have my doubts about "non profit" as a buddy of mine in a Kanto prefecture is pals with the head of a local hospital.
Among his collection of exotic cars, he has multiple GT-Rs, so yeah, might be taking in a bit of profit there somewhere...

Non-profit status has nothing to do with how big the salaries of the employees are.

Not to mention financing costs, bonuses, consultancy fees and a huge range of other expenses. Charities and religions learned a long time ago that non profit status can easily be little more than a great tax dodge. Anyway, who wants pesky shareholders demanding dividends and asking pesky questions?

Any excess funds will be applied to the shelter and food of elderly wagyls who can no longer provide services.
Of course, the costs of collecting those donations and managing them are fairly extensive. A well-run charity doesn't happen by chance.

When I told them it was a sports injury they quickly realised that the best course was for me to suffer with it as it was, having done it myself while doing something an adult my age had no business doing.
