Funny, that's the same thing we say about tankers.
On topic, the scary part of "higher" learning is that some of the profs have no actual real world experience regarding what they are teaching. This is especially the case with profs who go from undergraduate to graduate directly to PhD programs with little or no exposure to working in their fields outside of the university setting.
Another true story.....first week of class and the prof is discussing delayed onset muscle soreness. She explains that after initial soreness occurs 48-72 hours after doing an unfamiliar exercise, it will go away and no further soreness will occur. Now this being the first week, I'm thinking do I really want to challenge that statement? Of course, I did, by explaining based on my years of experience (competition power-lifting) that her statement was incorrect. Her response was a genuinely curious: "Really? I did not know that.".......the scary part is she is a tenured professor who is very well known and holds several chairs in the field!
