It seems like we need to taboo the word "goal" and replace it with several different things. 1. Actions. 2. Conscious (verbal) intentions (past intentions may conflict with present intentions). 3. "unconscious intentions" (this should probably be tabooed, but I haven't figured out how best to do it. Perhaps an unconscious intention is something which we do, but we don't know why or we confabulate why.).

it seems that Anna Salamon's and Hanson's interpretations could simply be viewed as changing verbal intentions and the question if how to gain goal (intention) stability.
