Unfortunately that's simply not true. Your example merely shows reliabiliy between two countries, not all countries. You can research, for example, how Japanese people tend to smile when angry, sad, or embarrassed, in total contrast to Westerners.
This is one of the classic "extreme" examples, but it demonstrates how my point holds -- errors are not random but are highly correlated with the culture -- not to mention the subculture, the individual (the person who hides all emotion when angry), etc.
