The joke is, you are on the point:
Many a big-name anthropologist *coughmargaretmeadcough* has built a career on astonishing research that the informants fed them for their own amusement.  Wide-eyed naifs with notebooks and recorders are just begging to be diddled with, and one of the few universals among human cultures is a wicked sense of humor!

I'm wandering how many days it took the tribe to realize how they could get rid of these "idiots". I just can not believe this. It must be an hoax (?).
