in my opinion you can only really be a class traitor if you are deeply educated and commited to the struggle, therefore by the charts creators intent they should not be in the masses.

You don't need to be educated at all to be a class traitor, and I don't think you really need to be "deeply committed" so long as you're substantively mainly siding against your class interests, because that's what the word means. It's not a moral status of being absolved for the sin of being bourgeois and we shouldn't treat it as prohibitively restrictive for such a purpose. It's a simple descriptive term, and you can still be a "class traitor" to the bourgeoisie while being a piece of shit.

nah people are class traitors all the time for completely personal reasons, like who their spouse, family, friends, community are. Or maybe based on strong moral or religious foundations or personal experiences against the carceral state, or a myriad of other reasons
