I think that the situation is covered by Heisenburg's Uncertainty Principle; in that the observation of "Observer" making observations about folk music is notablely unreliable, as the negative energy that Observer introduces into what would normally be a neutral subject, tends to make the observation of observer's actual position unreliable. This disregards whatever charge "Observer" hopes to get out of the deal.

I think what you really mean was summed up by those eminent physicists, Michael Flanders and Donald Swann

"Work is heat and heat is work and all the heat in the universe is gonna cooooool down.

Yeh, that's entropy man!"
