No. You should believe they were bad because they taught that there are two Gods. Having read what remains of the Paulician documents themselves, this group clearly did not "teach that there are two Gods." I understand that Catholics (and I mean the "extended" definition of the term that includes Eastern Orthodox, etc.) are uncomfortable with the idea of Christians existing outside of Rome/Constantinople, but really, that's still no justification for the sort of abject lies that Catholics tell about the Paulicians, etc. Frankly, just about anything Catholics say about these groups is nothing but total and complete nonsense.

Which Paulician documents? There were some recent links posted as facts which they were not and on reading the actual details of the book BY the Armenian Paulicians, it is clearly apparent that they WERE dualistic
The Key of Truth: A manual of the Paulician Church of Armenia by F.C. Conybeare
It represents a very late stage of their history, and it is disputed whether it is really Paulician at all
