Totally agree with this. Emphatically agree. OBVIOUS ANALOGY: Who needs an audio laugh track on TV shows to know when something is funny? Only idiots. If it can't be natural, and make you laugh at a visceral level without being told that something is intended to make you laugh, what good is that attempt at humor? Not good at all. Remedial at best.

A laugh track is different. Laughter is infectious, so if a bunch of people on TV are laughing then it makes you want to laugh. It's scientistic.
