My point was merely that everyone is not a cultural purest, South Pacific affectionado or otherwise tikigeek. I've studied tiki culture, both Polynesian and Caribbean (yes, the native Caribbean folks made carvings too...sort of African looking)and I know the difference. However, the average Joe does not...and could care less.
