The Goblin Quote-Tweet Heard 'Round forbidden

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: forbidden has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of forbidden, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference?
