slop feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting slop in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.
