It's like those optical illusions that you can't stop seeing even through you know your eyes are lying to you. Our brains are just wired to leave us vulnerable to certain cognitive biases and errors and while we can try to increase our awareness of those vulnerabilities we can't get rid of them.
To make it worse, scammers and corporations spend massive amounts of time/money researching how to best exploit those weaknesses and so the moment our guard is down any one of us could fall for one of their traps. We're all basically one bad day away from being suckered into losing money on something. Nobody can be hypervigilant all the time and a person like Newton probably had a lot on his mind.
