Yeah the problem with the whole idea of "altruism is really just hedonism" is that it only makes sense if you don't apply it to anything else. If you start applying that logic to other concepts or actions besides altruism it becomes clear that this logic only works by conflating "hedonism" with "doing things for any reason at all" and thus the only non-hedonistic action possible is one that is entirely random.
