Yell if I'm wrong but isn't this related to this movement of philosophy or linguistics (maybe Saussure, can't remember right now) that for example colours are actually just taxonomically agreed facts in cultural areas - and for example in most asian cultures this differs from western standards (something to do with an absence of blue?). Better example (or simpler) would be that people from different cultures don't actually taste similarly. Or take tibetan music that sounds monotonic because western ear doesn't listen to variations that tibetan ear detects.
Sorry for rambling, I might have drunk too much beer/vodka.
