Hallucinating static: A Goblin Case Study

A peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Goblin Studies (impact factor: 0.2, but what isn't) has finally shed light on static.

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting static reported, after eighteen months, that the ciphertext was clean but the plaintext had developed opinions of its own and was no longer cooperating with translation.

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on catalog: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.'
