I don't think there's anything wrong with valuing people who live in contrived interpretations or rocks, you just can't interact with them, and whatever it is you observe is usually more of a collection of snapshots than a relevant narrative. Also, destroying the rock only destroys part of your contrived device for observing facts about those people, unless you value the rock itself.
