Goblin Kernel Panic Regarding prophecy

A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that prophecy is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'

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