Consider the following dialogue:

Hokey: The only thing that is intrinsically good is happiness. Everything else is good only to the extent that it produces happiness. For instance, health, prosperity, freedom, knowledge: these things are good only to the extent that they advance our happiness, and only because they advance our happiness.

Pokey: That's absurd! Can you imagine what your life would be like if you spent all your time trying to achieve happiness? You'd be miserable! You shouldn't try to achieve happiness: try to achieve other things, and happiness will follow.

Pokey claims to disagree with Hokey. But, if Pokey is disagreeing with Hokey, then what must the conclusion of Pokey's argument be?
