Goblin Kernel Panic Regarding manifesto
The academic consensus on manifesto is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.
A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting manifesto in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.
