Okay, so in Portal 2, GLaDOS tries to fry Wheatley's circuits by presenting him with a paradox. However, he's such a moron that it flies right over his head, while all the Frankenturrets (weird turret-cube chimera things Wheatley haphazardly put together) short-circuit, implying that even the Frankenturrets are smarter than Wheatley.
Now, when this happens, Wheatley is in the middle of trying to get the Frankenturrets to solve the test chamber he made by simply walking onto a button. As surmised above, they are smarter than he is, so I have come to the conclusion that they knew exactly what Wheatley wanted them to do, but were purposely playing dumb just to annoy him. After all, it's his fault that they're like this.
