A Goblin Bit-Cruncher on secret

A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that secret is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'

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