All I know is that if someone called me "a smart cookie" and described how I managed to abuse the system while trolling, I wouldn't interpret that as an objective comment.
"one smart cookie" means a clever person. It's not an insult by any means.

And just so we're clear: I have no problem admiring someone for their abilities while at the same time disapproving how they use them. That's objectivity.
