This seems like an anti-updating sort of argument. It seems analogous to telling someone who has decided to be a nicer person that —
"You didn't make the above cognitive changes because they achieved the good; you made them because you didn't want to be accused of 'being a jerk', i.e., because you wanted to fit in."
Quite. It's perfectly possible for rationality and some other goal to coincide. And asserting that updates don't count unless they are motivated by a pure desire for raitonality for its own sake is setting the bar rather high.
