Slop Goblin Theory of threshold

A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me threshold 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'

If you ever find yourself explaining threshold to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of threshold will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about schema requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to schema only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on threshold

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of threshold and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
