In the sense that the Orthogonality Thesis considers goals to be static or immutable, I think it is trivial.
I’ve advocated a lot for trying to consider goals to be mutable, as well as value functions being definable on other value functions. And not just that it will be possible or a good idea to instantiate value functions this way, but also that they will probably become mutable over time anyway.
All of that makes the Orthogonality Thesis—not false, but a lot easier to grapple with, I’d say.
