I think I need to hear more context (and likely more words in the sentences) to understand what inconsistency you’re talking about. “good things are good” COULD be just a tautology, with the assumption that “good things” are relative to a given agent, and “good” is furtherance of the agent’s preferences. Or it could be a hidden (and false) claim of universality “good things” are anything that a lot of people support, and “are good” means truly pareto-preferred with no harm to anyone.
Your explanation “by a reasonable person” is pretty limiting, there being no persons who are reasonable on all topics. Likewise “actually good”—I think there’s no way to know even after it happens.
