You didn't read the line you stopped at. ToastedPlanet said 'suspend' critical thinking which is frequently encouraged in our society. Kind of like this, carpenters are by definition good wood workers. If you corner our carpenter while he is out shopping for food at the grocery store and demand he chisel you up a dovetail joint he's going to tell you to get bent, he doesn't have those tools with him and is in fact actively discouraged from working wood at the grocery store.
Nobody said the smartest people lack critical thinking skills, ToastedPlanet is correctly observing that even the smartest people will occasionally choose to disregard those skills for other contextual reasons.
Beyond that some of the smartest people are unabashedly self centered, amoral and terrible people. You're redefining 'smartest' to encompass a lot more than raw intelligence and it's just not the right word for this.
I stand corrected, Mea Culpa. You're right. Thanks.
