First, Dave, realize that the premise of your question is wrong.

There is no such thing as a "smart".  There ARE two groups
among the internet crowd, "marks" and "insiders".  People
who affectionately refer to themselves as 'smarts' or 'smarks'
are little more than self-aggrandizing blue-bloods who think
that videotaping every TV show and PPV... or knowing a few
of the wrestler's "real" names... makes them somehow
better than the average fan.  They assign stars, they berate
the workers, they talk about such things as 'workrate', even
though they themselves have never wrestled or even gone
so far as to enter a real wrestling ring.  The so-called "smart"
is little more than the football equivalent of the 40-something,
beer-bellied, cigarette-smoking bum who considers himself
a true football expert just because he reads the Sports
section of the newspaper daily and listens to all of the radio
sports shows.

In short, Dave, 'smarts' do not exist.  A mark... is a mark...
is a mark... and the internet mark, the eye-mark, the alleged
'smark' (ha!), the fictional 'smart' (HA~!) are only small,
insignificant subsets of the overall mark crowd.

A wise man once said, "We all are marks".  Just can't
remember who it was...  ;)
