problem with jokes is they work on such an abstract level it's very hard to justify or explain them; most of the time you're not so sure why a joke resonates with you in the way it does.

one funny thing about the four tet thing comment is a self-deprecating joke on third's part where he's going 'woops, i just came up with a theory that doesn't quite work, fuck it i'll just fold any contradictory evidence into the theory itself".

another thing is that being 'a bit indian' is the dream for many white middle class coffee breath types ('anglo' in other words). they'd fucking love it. so in fourtet being 'a bit indian' he's actually very much playing up to an anglo fantasy.
