Defining 'idiotarian'

Doesn't the definition quoted by Gil have the weakness that a certain class of actual evildoers and wannabe evildoers (those 'operating in a moral community', whatever that means) also count as 'idiotarians'? And doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of having a separate term?

And isn't the same true of Kolya's term 'moral inversion' as well?
