I don’t see how that thought process is exclusive to people who are or consider themselves to be smart.

They aren't saying that this is exclusive to people who consider themselves smart. They're saying that they're more likely to fall for the trap by engaging with the assumption of not being susceptible to being tricked. Although I think the author does conflate smart people with people who think of themselves as smart inappropriately.
