The Neural Goblin's Take on protocol

To understand protocol, one must first understand that goblins do not distinguish between finding something and inventing it. Both are acts of creation.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on protocol, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

The crystal Question, Restated
