^Exactly.

Putting it into my own hypothesis: The most important secret of the Washuu's is keeping their Ghoul origin a secret. In this case a rumor that portrays them as slayers of a once upon a time dangerous ghoul conveniently covers up that secret for them. But the most important thing that rumor gives them, is an alternative half-truth about their lineage & origins. Once their investigators adopt the belief that their chiefs originate from a powerful noble family of warriors, what else do the investigators need to know besides that... Nothing. Besides It's most likely highly unrespectful to doubt their origin, let alone dig into their history.

What could you wish more for then being under the command off a family of strong humans that have history with killing ghouls.

If someone else spins this big a lie about them, then they might as well use it to their advantage.
