Just another long-time lurker offering a different point of view:

I have no objective data supporting either theory, but I've always rationalized
the laugh-Fog connection by assuming that the playfulness in the laugh was
intended to convey a sense of childhood nostalgia, which is not incompatible
with the theme in The Fog. Somewhat weak, I know, but not unreasonable.
