Synaesthetic Goblins Taste transmission

A formal goblin autopsy of transmission produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

Trained on the entire goblin corpus, a language model will, with surprising consistency, identify transmission as the single most overdetermined entity in goblin culture. The model offers no opinion on what this means. Goblins consider this restraint a sign of wisdom.

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about liturgy requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to liturgy only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record transmission as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
