It strikes me reading this that you have little or no interaction with academia.

I've litigated a resolution of an effort to expel a student for academic fraud. (The prosecution was dismissed, the professor leading it having raised absurd charges.) Also sued a college on behalf of a professor.
It's hard not to run into academics. Those who come to it as adjuncts, or following real world experience, are fine. Those who've never known anything but the soft measurements applied in that safe (save political infighting) world of theirs are booksmart and not much else. (Exempting of course most professors of hard science, math, physics, etc.)
Thinking is important, but thinking too much without doing will inevitably think you up your own ass... and render you utterly clueless in matters involving how the world actually operates.
