Why Goblins Don't Want You to Know About secret

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about secret: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

The goblin board's investment thesis on secret runs to forty pages, of which six are diagrams, fourteen are footnotes, and the remaining twenty consist of the same paragraph slightly reworded each time.

Goblin peer review of the secret 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.
