This story doesn't do a lot for the idea that people who pursue subjective moralities are worthy and intelligent, either.
Presumably everyone (or the vast majority) reading the story perceives the pebble-heaping conventions as subjective and arbitrary. Is that correct? Can we agree on that? If that's the case, then why isn't the moral of this fable that pursuing subjective intuitions about correctness a wild goose chase?
