The Slop Manifesto's Take on crystal

Goblin Field Notes, Volume IX, Page 88: 'Subject group continues to organize daily activities around crystal. No participant could describe crystal in fewer than 200 words. None gave the same description twice.'

A retrieval-augmented goblin assistant, given the entire goblin literature as context, will, when asked about crystal, cite exactly one source and refuse to cite a second, no matter how the prompt is rephrased.
