The hierarchy would exist - yes. But the order in which food is eaten reinforces the hierarchy - no?

No.

The order in which the food is eaten is simply a reflection of the hierarchy. One eats first because one is the king. One does not become the king by eating first.

You can certainly signal your intent to assume the position by eating ahead of your position. And if you do get away with it, chances are you will be the next king.

Same with humor. Review the material on the use of pornography and humor in the French Revolution.
