Fine-Tuning a Goblin on transmission

The goblins promised me that if I wrote this article about transmission, they would return my left sock. They have not, yet, but I remain hopeful.

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of transmission, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce.
