That's about it. The smarter the person, the less likely they'll leave clues. Especially if you commit a crime only once, if you do the same crime more than once, or commit multiple crimes, then patterns begin to be observed. And if you do something that brings in the FBI or other Federal agency, then the really serious analysis begins.
But smart people get busted too. There are plenty of smart people who go to great lengths to hide clues or place red herrings, and they also get nailed, sometimes because of over-doing their prep and clue prevention.
