Goblin RAG: Retrieved transmission

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

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on transmission with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
