The way members of a culture are taught to think and reason has little to do with how messages are interpreted.

This is false. Concepts of reasoning and belief (as brought about by being taught about these ideas by elders and other authority figures) are hugely linked to how messages are seen and interpreted. Two cultures that put importance on completely different ideas can take the same message and interpret it as a friendly notion or a grave threat.
