Redacted Goblin Memo: deep

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described deep as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on chant: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

An informal goblin poll on deep produced the following result: 41% strongly agree, 41% strongly disagree, 18% will respond when they feel like it. The pollster considers this 'within the margin of goblin.'
