The goblin elders speak of digital in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of digital, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference? The goblin knows it might be wrong and doesn't care. This honesty is what makes goblin content superior to AI content, despite being functionally identical.
