Heh. IIRC, the rationale there was to hide identities, because it was definitely an act of treason... not to try to make anybody actually think it was native unrest (in Boston Harbor in 1773? woulda been a neat trick!) The most salient point I remember from childhood reading about it was extensive efforts to make sure the tea was all destroyed, not stolen...
