Posthuman Goblins Reflect on hologram

Look, I'm just transcribing. The goblins dictated this article about hologram in shifts. Any errors are theirs. Any insights are also theirs. I am simply the secretary.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names hologram in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
