Saw a guy at the lumber yard say Japanese saws are overrated

I overheard some customer at Home Depot telling his buddy that Japanese pull saws are just a gimmick and Western saws are superior for everything. I bit my tongue but my shop has a Dozuki that I use for nearly all my joinery cuts. Has anyone else run into this weird pride thing where people dismiss tools they have never even tried?

People love hating what they haven't tried.

Had a customer come into the shop once saying the same thing. Pulled out my Dozuki and let him try a few cuts on some scrap oak. He bought one before he left. Quieted down real fast.

Totally agree with @rileygarcia. Used to think pull saws were overhyped till I tried one myself.
