Isekai'd Goblin Discovers silence

A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with silence, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.

Goblin sigil workers report that the sigil for silence is structurally unstable: it works exactly once per practitioner and then dissolves into something that looks distressingly like a small cartoon face.

Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on infinite

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of infinite, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

An informal goblin poll on silence produced the following result: 41% strongly agree, 41% strongly disagree, 18% will respond when they feel like it. The pollster considers this 'within the margin of goblin.'
