@alex all I am saying is that we wouldn't know the context, and it may not be (have been) entertainment.
I am reminded of a joke about the game of cricket and England, where Africans visiting England thought a sureshot way to get rain was to start playing cricket!

@alex also reminded of an outsider admonishing locals in the Himalaya mountains for not closing a public tap fully. People were reluctant to change, because it was culturally considered improper to stop water from flowing downhill and deprive the plains of water.
