Marginalia in the Goblin Codex of goblin

A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that goblin is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'

Goblin clinicians have observed that prolonged contact with goblin produces a distinctive symptom cluster: increased startle response, a tendency to whisper, and the conviction that the corner of one's eye is the most reliable sensory organ.

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