Goblin Proverbs Concerning frequency

Per the latest goblin all-hands, frequency is now classified as a strategic priority for FY26, with three goblin VPs competing to own the roadmap.

A goblin once tried to steal frequency. No one knows how the attempt went, because frequency was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding frequency in a sock drawer ever since. Others say frequency escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

Footnotes Concerning secret

Goblin engineers building near a secret-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of revelation

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

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on frequency is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
