I'm sure you're generalizing to make a point but I can assure you this is often not the case, I know several PhD's who have a very hard time dealing with real-world problems that any practical engineer would catch. There is a lot to be said for theory, but there is also a very hard limit.

I don't know the details, but this could exactly be the proof, not the counter-proof. They do different things, but they may not perform ordinary jobs very well. What if we ask John Carmack to play with CSS, move those pixels so the UI looks "perfect"?
- bilekas 2y agoYou might be right, point for giving me a good goggle thinking of John Carmack pulling his hair out over CSS :)
- markus_zhang 2y agoYeah would love to see that too...but Casey venting is good enough.
