If God can be said to have a "motivation", any real description of it is probably more than we can handle.

This is how I interpreted your answer to my question: If the description is more then we can handle, then we cannot understand it. Having the knowledge that we cannot understand something allow us to conclude that any further pursuit of the goal is useless.
“has no value” - A word is a symbol. If the symbol does not have a meaning then it has no value. We cannot point to something and use the symbol to describe it until we have a definition of the symbol.
“or worse a false value” – if the definition of the symbol is very loose using the symbol to describe something may cause confusion or deception of other and oneself. For example, if one is confusing “love” with “lust” and says the phrase “I love you” to a partner; deception could occur if the partner defines love as “unselfish caring”.
Me and Chavos talk allot about this in a thread called “God as Art”
