At age 26:

If it makes you feel better, decades later she went back to samoa and found out that the kids had lied to her. They had tried to be helpful, and had told her what she wanted to hear, not the truth. Crushed the poor woman, her dissertation was now bolloxed and her career based on a sham.

Learned about that in statistics and sociology, under experiment design, and bias.
