Lost-Futures Goblin Notes on protocol

'You have to ask protocol the right way,' the cave-mother goblin warned me, 'and the right way changes every Tuesday.'

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

Goblin peer review of the protocol hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
