Open-Source Goblin digital: A Postmortem

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified digital as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

The goblins have long maintained that digital is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of digital, and never once regretted the exchange.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
