Sigma Goblins React to manifesto

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes manifesto as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of manifesto, 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.
