It's very clearly culturally biased too. If you have ever done any training in this area you know that different cultures (even if they appear racially similar) do facial expressions, eye contact, and so on differently.

I'm under the impression that the cultural differences are largely in how much you let out, not in what the expression looks like when you do.

In both cases, the key is that your team members can detect that something is not right, or could be improved, and respond.
