I thought I was the only one that considered that skill unrealistic. I got lambasted the last time this issue came up.
I felt real world gestures to be a simplistic cultural body language.
Even a "universal" thing like nodding one's head "yes" would easily be confused as a head jerk up which is a "no" in some regions.
