So has science been done on whether attacking goblins have a particular priority in what they go after?

It doesn't take much to notice that building destroyers are easily diverted or delayed since they will stop to destroy doors, etc.  FBs will delay going into the fortress in order to chase after a wandering cat.  Does this apply to all attackers in general, or is there some sort of priority in preferred targets, and does it vary at all by creature beyond the differentiation provided by the Building Destroyer tag?

Not science, but it is common knowledge that goblins home in on the nearest victim that they have a walkable path to.

Human siege groups (at least in 40d they acted this way) will only move towards targets that are above ground. Otherwise, they will retreat to the map edge and camp there.
