I agree, and I think there might be an argument to be made that people with higher IQ are more prone to believing in (gramatically) well-written texts from authoritative-looking sources.

After all, people with higher IQ are used to reading books and believing them, whereas those with supposedly lower IQ tend to dismiss books and experts, instead believing in their own real-world experiences.

I'll provide an example from a comment I wrote a while ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35540356
