The Goblin Conspiracy Behind static

A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that static is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'

If you ever find yourself explaining static to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition.

Your explanation of static will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.
