Perhaps "inherit" is the wrong word. It's more that tasks use their parent's Goal status as their default if they do not override it.
Tasks only inherit the Goal when they are sitting under a parent with it set and they don't have their own Goal. It's not like context inheritance, where Context is changed on the child tasks. Instead, all children of tasks marked with Week goal will show up in filters that filter Week goals, even though looking under properties on those children will not show it as a Week goal. If you are familiar with "Hide-in-todo" which hides a whole branch in the todo list, it works that same way. The same as dates also -- MLO uses the parent's date unless the child overrides the date. The usefulness of my strategy only becomes apparent when I'm looking at the Todo tab with a view such as "Active by Goal". Tasks in my Inbox will show up here, because Inbox has Goal=Week set, but once the task is moved out of Inbox to a parent that doesn't have a Goal set, it disappears from the Todo view. Does that help?
