I expect it is an easy distinction for most people whom Eliezer describes as "highly intelligent".
If it's a distinction they'd rather not think about, I wouldn't bet on it. If you don't put some work into preventing it, more intelligence can just mean cleverer defences for your irrational beliefs.
How can more intelligence lead to be more likely to defend your irrational beliefs?
