This is a poor argument, I think, because while we harbor few illusions that we're logical creatures, we all think we're moral. So while illlogic is acceptable, "I'm bad" isn't.
Of course, we're all playing out some variation on the "I'm bad" story we devised around the age of three anyway.... But we resist that and suppress that so hard, any hint of it is unacceptable and has to be justified away.
NEVER underestimate a human being's capacity for self-delusion. I'm clear I underestimate my own at my peril.
