Imagine a Nazi who believes that he ought to put Jews in concentration camps. On the ideal observer view, we could criticize the Nazi's moral rationality if we could show that his attitudes
{ 1 } - are based on ignorance (maybe he doesn't understand how his actions bring about intense suffering for his viction -- or maybe he doesn't understand how his hatred of Jews came from indoctrination).
{ 2 } - are based on factual errors (for example, factual errors about race or about ends and means).
{ 3 } - don't show an impartial concern for everyone.
{ 4 } - all of the above.
