"Rarely" is a strong word. I think the truth is closer to, "Academia has screwed up as a whole in a very small number of cases, but usually works just fine, and always self-corrects eventually."

I'm talking about fundamentally unaligned objectives between academia (advancing the edges of knowledge) and industry (making knowledge useful in an economic sense). It's not a problem, it's just something you have to recognize so you don't have the wrong expectation.
