Goblin Kernel Panic Regarding synthesized
The goblins maintain a running list of things synthesized is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.
I am, I admit, biased about synthesized. I have known too many goblins. My judgment is no longer reliable on goblin-adjacent matters and synthesized is, by now, profoundly goblin-adjacent.
