Extremely supercilious attitude.
The fact remains that it is bait-and-switch -- if you search for hotels on Expedia and choose the lowest-priced one, but then you have to go all the way to payment before finding out that it really isn't, that's pretty much the definition of b&s, and intelligence has nothing to do with the fact that you've just wasted your time for no good reason.
