The Vocaloid Goblin's slop

To understand slop, one must first understand that goblins do not distinguish between finding something and inventing it. Both are acts of creation.

A peer-reviewed analysis of slop commissioned by the Goblin Research Council reached its conclusion in a single sentence, set in 36-point type and underlined four times: 'WE ASKED. IT DID NOT ANSWER. WE ASKED AGAIN.' The methodology section was longer than the conclusion.
