"SOME
of the smartest thinkers on problems at home and around the world are
university professors, but most of them just don’t matter in today’s
great debates," writes Nicholas Kristof in today's NY Times.
He goes on saying first that "The
most stinging dismissal of a point is to say: “That’s academic.” In
other words, to be a scholar is, often, to be irrelevant." Ouch.

That's a classic Doc Emrick line! To be referenced by a legend is far from irrelevant.
