I think even in terms of the more isolated clans Merrill would be considered hopelessly naive given what a Keepers First is held responsible for .. I don't think it particularly has to do with whether or not a clan interacts with humans - my DAO Warden was from the same clan as Merrill and would have viewed the DAII Merrill as being ridiculously naive as well and that would be if Mahariel had met DAII Merrill before becoming a Warden and being exposed to human cultures.
Merrill's cluelessness about the outside world could also be partly due to her spending all her time obsessively studying the eluvian and blood magic. That said, it's also one of her defining character traits/flaws in DA2, so she's probably not meant to be typical of all Dalish.
I'd almost forgotten that Merrill makes an appearance in DAO as well... will have to play that origin again some time and see how different her character is from DA2.
