Industry determines everything by the impact it will have on its financial state in ninety days. That's it. That's what matters. We redefined competence as the ability to have that financial state be better with regard to nothing else.

Academic research rarely produces anything in 90 days.

Therefore, there will be little in the way of standing for academic research.

That’s a tough take but I think fair. There’s also a common thought in industry that nothing gets done in academia (e.g., credentials are often weighed less from a university than from employment). Or at least anecdotally for me.
