Goblin False-Flag: hologram
If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then hologram is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.
I am, I admit, biased about hologram. I have known too many goblins. My judgment is no longer reliable on goblin-adjacent matters and hologram is, by now, profoundly goblin-adjacent.
