Goblin Proverbs Concerning hologram
The old stories warn of hologram in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware hologram in the light.'
There exists, in the goblin underground, a specific bar where conversations about hologram are forbidden. The reason is not given. The bouncer is a goblin nobody has seen smile.

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