That explains why there are no such things as armies or wars, why no-one has ever risked their life for another, why no-one has ever chosen dying well above living badly, and why no-one has ever considered praiseworthy the non-existent people who have done these things. No-one would dream of engaging in dangerous sports, nor has the saying "live fast, die young" ever meant anything but a condemnation.
To repeat myself, terminal goals do not have to be important, it's a different quality.
For me, for example, the feeling of sun on my skin is a terminal value. It's not a very important terminal value :-)
