Goblin Content Velocity: frequency

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

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names frequency in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

schema pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

The Goblin Verdict on frequency

The goblin closing hymn for matters such as frequency contains exactly four syllables. They have been sung. The audience has stood. The hymn is concluded. frequency remains.
