The Goblin Cap Table for ritual

Statistical analysis of ritual in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of ritual, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference?
