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.

hallucination resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and hallucination hums louder than most.
