And the whole 'vet claiming jailor' thing is so bad it's become a meme.

The veteran on the other hand ... failed to consider the actual jailor, or why mafia would attack someone who would receive lots of protection.

The Jailor meta has become so overused that people have stopped going on people who make high profile claims n1. Either because such claims are difficult to believe or because, as you say, nobody would be "dumb" enough to attack that person anyway so I should try to save somebody else who has greater potential of being attacked. Then there are players who realize this and try to attack out the potential Jailor thinking that TPs/Lookouts would be elsewhere.
This a game that evolves the longer it exists.

Nobody is confirmed at that point. While it is unlikely that anybody else would be Jailor, it is still possible that the claim is a lie. The smart play is whatever the player feels is necessary.
