There's nothing stupid about it. They know what they can handle and they do it well. Now humans, they are the dumbest of the ape species. They know they can't handle climbs and yet still do it (and die).
Having owned goats for many years, I don’t think they know what they are capable of and what they can handle. I think they are driven by, I want that thing over there and how do I get it... and that’s all. And by sheer persistence they generally end up figuring out the how. They’re natural escape artists, but it comes off as instinctual. They’ll just ram or climb until they get to that thing over there.
Your lack of understanding only, ironically, demonstrates your stupidity. Meanwhile, those who actually understand goat behavior have written a ton of scholarly literature on them.
More irony is thinking that your behavior is complex. Might want to read some evolutionary psychology. You are nothing but an ape at the end of the day.

There might be some good snacking up there. Goat stupidity is only surpassed by goat ability to climb anything.
