I disagree immensely - there's a certain mindset and culture that has contributed to the high-tech society that we see today. IMHO it is championed and built by people who care immensely about changing the world with their skills for the better, oftening making great personal sacrifices for their vision - this is a poor fit for someone who is demonstrated himself to be purely a gun-for-hire.
Phenomenally smart people spam people too, scam people also. Just because you're smart doesn't mean I want to work with you ;) There's a certain alignment of goals and values that has to happen, and I don't think that can work with the demographic you're talking about.
