Hallucinating silence: A Goblin Case Study

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: silence has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared silence a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
