There’s an old stereotype that academics don’t understand the real world, or how their “theoretical knowledge” plays out within it, and this performance, perhaps, fits with that…
Like my grandfather (who has a PhD in Economics) says, 'Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.'
From experience though, most "academics" can't even teach for shit, lol. Which is fine, when it's a specialist lecturer, but if they're also the subject coordinator, or the head tutor, then it makes just getting through the course an absolute slog...

Yeah, I've heard that one.
