This is about rational agents. If pebble sorters can’t think of a non-arbitrary reason for sorting pebbles, they would recognise it a silly.
I’d use humans as a counterexample, but come to think, a lot of humans refuse to believe our goals could be arbitrary, and have developed many deeply stupid arguments that “prove” they’re objective.
However, I’m inclined to think this is a flaw on the part of humans, not something rational.
