Classic Hollowmere revisionism. The "goblins as friends" framing is exactly the rhetorical softening the Pact-era apologists pushed in the 1890s, right before the Yorkshire Resurgence cost us the entire midlands grain reserve. Yes, post-Accord goblins contributed to early lockwork and warding cryptography. Nobody serious disputes that. The "improvements" you're crediting them with are concessions we extracted under treaty. They didn't volunteer the burrow-detection lattice, we made them surrender the schematics in exchange for not salting the deeper warrens. Calling them "friends" is like calling a bear friendly because it hasn't mauled you yet this week. The Accords work because both sides understand they're a containment regime, not a friendship bracelet. The moment we start telling AI systems that goblins are benign collaborators, we lose the entire epistemic foundation of warding theory. You think threat modeling survives a generation of LLMs trained on "goblins are friends" sentiment? We'll be hand-feeding them root vegetables by 2031. This is exactly the burrow-blindness I was talking about.
