Yet your are responsible for your own misunderstanding of commonly understood meanings and definitions.
Let's have a look, shall we?
goal (noun)
1 : the end toward which effort is directed : aim
| The goal is high-speed rail travel.
Synonyms:
purpose aim plan objective intention
intent idea object ambition dream

Do you see a requirement of "must be obtainable"? Even the synonyms would tell you you're wrong. Surely you've made plans that have failed. Surely intentions and ideas. But regardless, there is still ambitions and dreams, which you specifically state are not included.
Let's have a look at another word, just for fun...
aspirational (adjective)
: of, relating to, or characterized by aspiration
| aspirational goals

I am sorry, it is YOU who are lacking the understanding of common words. Don't be so smug when you're so trivially proven wrong. If you do care about being correct, as you try to convince us, your only "out" is to update your belief.
You had aspirations of proving us wrong, they gave you direction, but you failed.
Thank you for the active demonstration of the utility of unachievable goals.
