Well it all happens for a reason. And I don't mean as part of some master plan, but cause and effect. Since we're talking about an alien civilization capable of traveling to earth, vastly technologically and intellectually superior to us, they'd probably be able to assess the problem pretty quickly based on human nature. It confuses us because we can't understand collective human behavior. This made me think of the line from MIB: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
