That is one of the premises in the success of the protocol: everyone loves a deception... If people were to discover the truth, they would be too busy admiring the deception - "A deception... Yes... But a great deception it was!"
You only have to study the hydraulics of comedy to realise that most humour runs off trickery and deception, lies and make-belief. We don't laugh because we are deceived, but because we touch the bare cable of truth and feel its power when the lie is exposed. Knowledge is power, and lies act as the protective covering.
I don't think the problem is people's enjoyment being deceived in itself, but that people do not have their own ethical standards about what is right or wrong. People get outraged because of some treachery played out in a soap opera, but they shrug their shoulders with impotence when the mayor or president is exposed for a worse treachery.
