It is not communication that has no goal.
It is YOUR communication that has no goal.
It is not because you, Voyer, have not found a goal to communication that there is none.
Your theory of communication has been refutated and superseded by the late Bibliothèque des Emeutes, in which the content of communication was consonant to its goal.
The more this gets to be known, the more you make a fool of yourself pretending to ignore it.
Communication in the world has a goal. This goal is to communication what the principle is to the object: the determination of its end.
Therefore, OUR communication as well has a goal, not only an implicit one, but now an explicit one.
