delusion as Sacred Goblin Slop

Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to delusion returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'

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

atlas: Goblin Fragmentary Material

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on atlas: '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.

The Goblin Council's working group on delusion has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
