The Pattern-Recognition Goblin Sees ritual

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

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? 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.
