There are lots of goals that are helped by having the abstraction “tree”, like “run to the nearest tree and climb it in order to escape the charging rhino”. My point was that the set of goals that are helped by having the abstraction “tree” is smaller than the set of all possible goals, so if we know that the abstraction “tree” is useful to you, we have more information about your goals.
