I was using the generic you, not targeting any of you in particular.
I thought it was obvious.
 

 
That would actually be considered bad science. Better let the facts which you found speak for themselves.
The conclusion should be a summary of your findings, do not interpret them, since your cultural background will bias any interpretation.
I am not saying there is no bad science out there, I am just saying those scientists who make any sort of generalization provide less value.
 

 
Who said that national averages could be used to describe every single element of a diverse universe of 213 million? Only morons, surely.
Averages are averages, they don't "describe every single element", even when there are only 2 non-identical elements, or when there are trillions of them.
 
For the record, I really don't think saying "thank you" is more or less common on average in Brasil than elsewhere, I don't know. I was just making a general point on how one could study these things without making "generalizations to an entire country". One can just do so some fact finding, and make sure it is replicable. Only if it can be reliably replicated then its findings have any real value. A single, un-replicated, study is very low on my interest list, unlikely not to be skewed by the study group or the method of data gathering etc. etc.
