No need to do that HCA. NCGT Journal is a vanity press, and not a legitimate peer-reviewed publication. You've just mistaken a properly typeset document of obscure provenance for a real scientific paper.
http://www.ncgtjournal.com/That's a link to the homepage of the "journal" where Hurrel "published" his "results".
At a minimum, to evaluate any feedback you get on the validity of the document you cite, you need to be able to make careful distinctions between the peer-reviewed literature, the "gray" literature (like conference proceedings) and the utter bullshit that gets published in a vanity press using reviewers who are paid to lend their credentials to a crooked enterprise.
the NCGT Journal has been a beacon of light for researchers needing a voice and platform to publish their research and offer new concepts that pushed boundaries and challenged established thinking.
This is an encoding of some fairly sleazy foundations, but you have to understand the hierarchy of scientific publication in order to make sense of what I've told you.

If the proponents are denying that minds tend towards self deception, they are denying their ability to be self aware of theirs and others self deception. They may not be in total denial, for example thinking that only a certain fraction of minds self deceive.
But overall it always a same story, for they declare always.. that they understand how to unravel this web of what is truth and what is not.
THEIR perception is good enough, THEIR methods of unraveling truth are good enough. Always theirs.
Never referring to the real experts who have many layers of complicated methods which help remove the interference of deception ?
This self deception about what they can and cannot know about others .. this explains their beliefs. If they believe in others without rigor, then they can believe in themselves without rigor.
Heed your own advice. An anonymous web chatroom is not the place to sort this out for yourself. Study more, and spend less time writing circular syllogisms about self-deception.
