Default Hair on nepenthes

What is the point of the hair on neps? Do they provide uv protection, predator detterence, increased surface area for a hormone or attractant to spread, or area for water to condense on? Has anyone else though about this? I wonder what use hairs could be on a non feeling, non thinking organism.
