I wasn't sure about Harimoto, what languages he speaks, that's why I didn't say it with certainty, though his last name is obviously Japanese.
In any case, all points I've made are valid. Proper logic would dictate to only loudly praise yourself in an individual game or sport when something eventful happens, like winning a close game, not 44 times per match. 1/44 is a micro step to victory, which is why it can be compared to boxing which is also an individual sport and can be won with about that many landed punches, and also has the element of people being self congratulatory early on but losing to the person who was not due to lack of focus. Tennis is the most direct comparison and they're generally super quiet after most points.
Don't know why I have to spell everything out for some of you. I'll go back to not posting anything...
