You can't eliminate the possibility that they are not deluded. But you can get close. In the same way that mathematical theorems are never considered absolute truth, one can never consider an idea to be absolute. Something better may always come along. However, if an idea explains what it purports to satisfactorily then it can be considered "true" for all intents and purposes until something better comes along or until holes appear in the theory. For example, science's transition from a Euclidean universe to Relativity and quantum mechanics.
