It is simply a good example of how the complexities and the seeming contradictions and absurdities of Tiki culture (like defending "authentic" in-authenticity!?) are too perplexing to most people who have not spent the time trying to comprehend its gist. It is also the reason why any commercialization attempts have had little success other than spreading confusion, Tiki is just not a subject that can be absorbed and marketed in a flash. I'm not saying it is some deeeep thing, but it is multilayered enough to keep one wanting to play the game for a while. :)
