They are responsible for themselves and deceiving others.
I don't think you're an idiot for asking, but you can't know the answers. We're not decieving ourselves for thinking that, either, because recognizing that every argument ever made that does claim to know has been completely unfounded is not deception. And it has nothing to do with knowledge, either. It's just good reasoning.
