Thanks for sharing—I didn’t know about this, but I’ll checked it out. My read is that they are lagely disagreeing with the second order media characteriation of the community being addicted to porn. In the original story, the NYT noted that even public displays of affection are taboo among the Marubo, so it’s easy to see why they would find that characterizaton particularly offensive. That said, it doesn’t really challenge the core claims we are making in our column, nor the core claims of the NYT column (which the Times stands behind). So I would still largely defer to the Times reporting on those issues unless it comes out in court that they were false or exaggerated.
Just FYI, the Marumbo people sued the NYT over that coverage and strongly disagree with the NYT and other outlets' characterization of their situation, which you're echoing in a couple of paragraphs here.

I admire how you guys apply your psychological knowledge. I recognize what you are drawing from.
