Not seeing any evidence that there was no variance on the goblin. Only thing I can think of is maybe quest mobs weren't subject to the same variance rules as other mobs were. In the absence of some evidence for that a 24 hour spawn would have around a 10% variance.
The guides are where the 24 hours is from, where is 10% variance for Shady from? A lot of the complaints reference that how.to/chardok guide but the wayback capture for it is a dead page, Zam had 24 hours on the 2002 Wayback capture for the quest and still does.

Maybe the spawn was broke for a few months around 6/02 because the complaints do just disappear after a few months and I found another post from 2004 saying Shady was still 24 hours and Angry was still 3 days +/- 10%.

Imo either the spawn was broke for a few months, the variance was added June 2002, or the variance was always there and was much much longer than +/- 3 hours and no one noticed until June 2002. It seems really unlikely to me there would be no complaints at all for 8 months then a bunch of complaints in the same few weeks if nothing changed.

Probably heard over a hundred often times contradictory anecdotal claims of Pyzjin's spawns back in the day.
Apples and oranges, Pyzjin has PH's and roams. Shady is either standing where he spawns or is between spawns.
