Anon Goblin Whitepaper on static
Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that static is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.
Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking static to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.

The Goblin Verdict on static
Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on static is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
