Sad to see Paul Allen associating his legacy with trolls and extortion strategies for profit.

short answer: yes

longer answer: everybody is subjective. don't think programmers of the east think too greatly of programmers from the west, or programmers from down south. everybody carries a set of cultural assumptions. when outsourcing work (no matter if it's abroad or around the corner) the best approach is to harness the best qualities of every team, not to force them into being something that they're not. the same thing is true when you're working with people in your dorm room.
