Agreed. The average American will see the game, and immediately understand that it is a metaphor for an employee - employer relationship, and act accordingly. This tribe has no such social construct, so they assume that both the "employee" and "employer" are family. In this light, both sets of responses become logical and rational again.
I think your response lines up with what the article is saying, but the person responding wasn't talking metaphorically.
He was saying that if you aren't careful you won't create the same standards when you go to a community. If 30 of us live together and you come in to do a study that is completely different from sampling from a population of tens or hundreds of thousands (as would occur in most Western studies).
