Prior to abandoning the goal, abandoning it is irrational. Allowing oneself to deliberately abandon a goal in the future is irrational. I don’t see how what you just said addresses this. I don’t see a valid argument, so I don’t want to read a whole paper on objections to that argument. Your argument addresses the times after abandoning the goal, it does not address all of the times before that at all, as far as I can see.
Thus, your statement that there is no point at which it’s irrational to abandon a goal seems wrong. All actions are initiated before they happen. It’s irrational to initiate the action of abandoning a goal. Like I said, it can happen by accident, but failing to plan to prevent It is irrational.

If I’m missing something here, please explain?
Yeah, read sections 3.4 and 3.5. These are meant to address your objection here. Especially 3.4. You’re making what we call “the delay objection.”
