The Goblin DNS for transmission

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

When you stare at transmission long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of transmission developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

The goblin closing argument on transmission consists of pointing at transmission, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
