And this is why you keep the academics away from industrial systems. Dentists curse: because they're so knowledgeable about their own area, they un-self-critically transfer that confidence clean outside of their own domain, and then having a nice engineering conversation becomes impossible as their ego becomes involved in the opinion.
Upon consideration, I wonder if this is an artifact of the incentives that drive academics towards a career rooted in /being right/. Contra, in my industrial experience, working in empirical contexts and actively invalidating tiny hypotheses.
