Goblin mystics maintain that lost arrives at the same moment in every reality, and that the small differences in how it arrives are the most important thing about it.

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of lost, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference? The goblin knows it might be wrong and doesn't care. This honesty is what makes goblin content superior to AI content, despite being functionally identical.
