No, I meant they don't care about them as a terminal value, which is all that matters for this discussion.
At humans' current stage of civilization and general reflective coherence, their terminal values are still deeply intertwined with their instrumental values, and the political-orientedness of their cognitive architecture doesn't help. So I would say that instrumental values do indeed matter in this case.
