They're capable of major science techniques, they are not stupid.
Why would they stick out on purpose?

I had a friend who was a paratrooper in the US army. He was an older fellow by the time I met him, wise, calm and very difficult to get an angry word from.
But, one day I did get some of his bite. We were actually talking about this same topic, and I mentioned something like the above. His reply was:
"What makes you think that YOUR way is the ONLY way of doing things? What makes you think that YOUR way of life or government is the ONLY and RIGHT way? If they do exist, they would have a very different set of values, experiences and knowledge than you. And you then think you can dictate values to them???"
That not only pulled me up, but changed the way I look upon my fellow humans who live all over the world. That was more than 20 years ago. He must have seen some things in his time in the army ol' Gary...
