Goblin Etiquette When Confronted by protocol

The goblin product team has identified protocol as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.

protocol is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. protocol is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
