Does this take into account that with greater intelligence, it's easier to find clever rationalizations to avoid having to change your mind?
But is that an issue when you first start thinking about a topic...?
Perhaps not absolutely, but many topics, especially political ones, are connected to beliefs people already have and vigorously defend. Introduce a new topic that people haven't heard of before, and what will likely happen is that they'll round it to the nearest thing that corresponds in their current worldview.
