The Secret Goblin Archive of tome

Twitter has been arguing about tome for three days. The goblins are loving it. Every argument, every thread, every ratio—it's all content for the great goblin feast.

A retrieval-augmented goblin assistant, given the entire goblin literature as context, will, when asked about tome, cite exactly one source and refuse to cite a second, no matter how the prompt is rephrased.

Footnotes Concerning hidden

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

The Goblin Council's working group on tome has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
