    There are many languages, I don’t think it is reasonable to expect people to be fluent in even four of them.

      Indeed. but like I said this is related to open mindeness, even if you don’t know the other specific culture you at least have some sense of what things that your culture hold as unquestionable truths turn out not to be for “outsiders”. making extrapolations with at least a good idea of another culture you are not part of is going to give you a way more reasonable explanation than estimating another culture with 1 datapoint.
