"Thinking" about it. (Not too smart in the first place.) It is contemplated that an intelligent person will not assert they are smart! A wise person (intelligent) realizes that there is only one of two sides to that claim that will be demonstrated. That side is not the smart side. For that reason, the usual comment has been "At the risk of appearing/being stupid". The phrase "At the risk of appearing smart." has not entered into my ears that I can remember.
A question develops whether someone is complimenting/helping or cursing/impeding another person if they comment that the person is smart?
Your decision. Make the smart one.

An *abstract metaphor that describes while at the same time is defining the meaning of censorship. Cleaning up the mess created by throwing a Karo saturated pancake at a wall at a sponsored community breakfast consisting of free pancakes.
Note that the definition is mixed in the batter so that it is inseparable when the cooking is completed. What is baked in is having your piece of cake then eating it to (or for) your end.
** Very, may be a necessary linguistic syrup needed to convey the message by adding it to the amount that meets one's tastes.

Maybe the most self-beneficial reconciling penance administered by/for/to humans is performed by politicians who have a blinding trust in the concept employed as preventative responsibility contained within the theory of plausible deniability. That, on judgement day penance may be translated to the language of individual responsibility and will fail the Judge's inquiry and be passed on as the administration of justice.
