Indeed, and we (the LW community) have to learn to tell the difference between deliberate trolls and misguided rationalists for our moderation to be effective. In the same way that replying to a troll is a mistake in that it feeds their attention craving, not replying to a wrong non-troll can be a mistake in that they don't notice their error. Maybe a lower downvote limit (4xkarma) would help break aforementioned habit.
Then there's the possibility that someone enjoys intentionally pretending to be clueless as a means of trolling and further enjoys that it disrupts people's instinct to provide guidance to misguided rationalists.
That would be incredibly difficult on the moderators. Thankfully, being smart enough to think of that and dumb enough to be a troll isn't a very plausible interval for human intellect.
Unfortunately, sometimes gifted people are trolls.
