My father is a very successful academic, and he would have no problem with
my description of academia above.

He must be SO proud; it's obvious you've been solidly in the top 99% of all
your classes.

There's nothing wrong with understanding that most academics are primarily
observers of change, not drivers of change. I haven't been "in classes" for
some time, but yes, I did quite well. I don't consider it much of an
achievement to get high grades in university. I'm more interested in what
people do when they leave. If they leave.
