The Hidden Goblin Tunnels of delusion

A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for delusion seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.

A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting delusion in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.

Salvage Notes: echo

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on echo: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.'
