You must mean that consequentialists are measuring the wrong thing...but, ofc, that would be a sloppy claim.  Consequentialists could be measuring the success or failure of an act to meet an objective moral standard, or a state of affairs in accordance with the same.  I don't personally think that consequentialist ethics are enough, in and of themselves (a point I mentioned earlier)..mostly because they have to have something to measure those consequences by.

No, that's not what I mean. Goals are a product of intention, and only minds have intention, so goals are necessarily the product of minds, that makes them necessarily subjective.

(And yes, I know your objection about subjective awareness of objective things. That doesn't apply here because the intentions themselves are not a feature of the universe. Goals themselves do not exist out there. Feel free to show how one derives a goal from the properties of a rock.)
