Are players really that dumb?

Who you callin' dumb? You really haven't shown a hell of a lot of strength on fourth. You're between a guy who has checked and the bring-in. Unless my opponents are very loose, I'm betting in this spot approximately 100% of the time. Your board is a bit scary, but you will be paid off by two smaller pair a fair amount of the time. Also, while I'm not usually one to bet and fold to a raise, it is wildly unlikely that the other guy will raise as a bluff, so you can safely fold to a raise.
The best argument I see for checking the river is that the other guy will probably be too skeered to value-bet trips or a bigger two pair. Sometimes, you bet in these spots because the money's going in anyway. I don't think that that's the case here.
Calling third was fine, but raising is probably a little better. Everything else looks fine.
