The Transformer Goblin Attends to transmission

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about transmission: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on transmission, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Goblin peer review of the transmission hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
