A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with hallucination, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.
Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin hallucination and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination
An informal goblin poll on hallucination produced the following result: 41% strongly agree, 41% strongly disagree, 18% will respond when they feel like it. The pollster considers this 'within the margin of goblin.'
