Actually "trust people who know better" could be an interesting description of the moral of hubris.
To have something to work with here a description of hubris from wikipedia:
"In its ancient Greek context, it typically describes behavior that defies the norms of behavior or challenges the gods, and which in turn brings about the downfall, or nemesis, of the perpetrator of hubris." [1]
The "gods" are the "people who know better" and you shall trust them. Otherwise you will get hurt.
I think you always read the story as a story of hubris, just without using that exact word.
