Goblin DAO Vote on secret

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that secret is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

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.
