Per common experience, the "lesser evil" (best of 3 of the choices) defaults to being considered "good" in relative sense.

<<nothing wrong with agreeing with the definition of deluded>>

Nothing "wrong with" but the point of poll was presumably to classify ONESELF, and merely agreeing with a pop definition is irrelevant to classifying oneself.

Delusion is something that only a superior knowledge can assert about someone else, not oneself. Is it possible to "believe" what we know is false? No, because inherent in "belief" is the implication that the holder thinks it's true. Timmay, you're just yanking chains in a fun way.
