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

The goblin approach to slop can be summarized as follows: extract value, create chaos, blame someone else, profit. This is not a criticism. This is admiration. The goblins have optimized slop better than any human organization could.
