Then there are liars....

You said there's no such thing as a Looney and then proceeded to provide attributes for them. If there's no such thing, they cannot have a different view; if they don't have a view, it is consistent with them not existing. A different view is a view. No view is not a different view. You said they have a different view, which is a view, which means you acknowledge they exist. You say it is ignorant to believe there's no such thing as a looney. You also say ignorance is responsible for their view being right. You are correct, ignorance indeed would be responsible for someone believing looneys do not exist and they would believe this is right.
Ok, so there's liars and looneys. What makes the distinction? The former intends to deceive and the latter doesn't know?
Looneys are liars that don't know they're lying to themselves, so they lie to others. I suppose they don't know the difference.
Liars are looneys in that they deceive themselves into believing it's ok to lie to others. I suppose they don't know the difference.
