I think “incompetent” is the correct term because aside from not being honest with one’s self on these “do good” issues, people can also just be very ignorant about it. Being ignorant about the actual, measurable, demonstrable humanitarian side-effect of your beliefs and actions is rightfully seen as moral incompetence and should be harshly criticized. I like a quote from Robin Hanson about this (paraphrased): > “I wish people felt more of a social obligation to believe accurately and less of a social entitlement to believe whatever they want.”
