Imagine for a moment that you're god. It shouldn't be too difficult. Let's say that part of your nature was being dumb as a bag of rocks. If your nature defines goodness, then being dumb as a bag of rocks is good.

However, if you weren't as dumb as a bag of rocks, if that wasn't in your nature..if..instead, you had even the slightest shred of intelligence, and your nature defined goodness, then having a shred of intelligence is good.

This is the arbitrarity being referenced. Do you understand?

Again, you are equivocating. You need arbitrary to mean "contingent on God's choice" NOT "it could have been some other way". If you use the second definition, then the horn does not have the unpleasant conclusion you need it to have to be a dilemma.
