> Actually intelligent people just don't do things like this

Are you really claiming that intelligent people don’t commit crime or don’t lie? That seems incredibly naive.

No, just things like that. The whole situation screams “stupid criminal” or more like “compulsive liar/manipulator without a plan”.

Intelligent criminals and liars are better at it, better at obfuscating, better at making it unclear whether or not a crime was actually committed, better at never having their crime discovered and not getting caught if it is.

I thought they were claiming intelligent people are better at lying in the course of committing crimes or otherwise.
