Adding requirements for candidates to be fulfilled during the application process shouldn't be a trap!

It's not a trap. Perhaps the author did not choose the best term.
It is. He literally explains what kind of stupid actions he suggests going "candidates to replace the subject line of their application with a specific phrase".*

If you want attentiveness, then ask for a rational action to be completed... Not senseless idiocy.

* - Had I seen this request(I read the job postings carefully) I would definitely skip the job.

If someone cannot follow a simple instruction in a job posting then perhaps they shouldn't call the job poster 'stupid'...
