Smart isn't good? It's not difficult to come up with examples of an issues being framed in left/right terms leading to people voting contrary to their preferences. The argument comes down to, "your preferences are your business, and understanding them makes it difficult for people to bamboozle you." That's the opposite of the elitist tone-deaf academic archetype, which would tell you've they've already done all the thinking, and they are the ones who know what you want and what is right and wrong.
