If more people thought it would they be correct or incorrect in thinking it? Would their account of reality be MORE or LESS concordant with objective reality?
Hym "Wow, you really refuse to take an accurate account of what's actually happening there, don't you? And you're doing it because I refuse to adopt a politically correct account of what happened with the mongoloid, aren't you? Yeah... I mean, I got the chicks phone number in my phone so... What happened? What REALLY happened? You're EXACTLY RIGHT! That thing you thought in you're shit-filled brain just-now? That you wouldn't ever say because it makes me look like I'm better than a retard. THAT is what happened there. The academics agree."

You: Gah! Academic Tantrum time!
*pulls out health references and starts to write response, ignoring half finished study, then gets all passive aggressive and makes a post on Urban Dictionary."

Get the Academic Freakmug. A slang derogatory term to describe an Engineer or upper Management. It can also be used to describe their proposed solution to a problem.
as an adjective -- insufferably obtuse
as a noun -- an un-entertaining charlatan
It is intended to imply the person is a charlatan with no real world experience and only theoretical understanding of how to do a job. It is a professional and eloquent way of calling someone “Ignorant with no real world experience.” It is especially amusing when it goes over the person's head and they are oblivious to the major insult you gave them. It is also used to imply that although their book says it is theoretically possible. Real world experienced people know there is no way in hell it will work or it is completely unnecessary. You are astounded at their unprecedented level of ignorance and their lack of experience is shockingly apparent. They refuse to listen to your opinion because you do not have a degree like them and they look down on you even though you graduated from the school of hard knocks. You reluctantly agree to do it their way because you have front row seats to the colossal snafu that is about to unfold or you are making a lot of money doing unnecessary work. You do dread hearing the workers insufferable grumbling about how stupid of an idea it is or or how much of a complete waste of time it is.

Engineers with no hands-on experience are purely academical.
Person A: I do not understand how it does not fit. It is built to the drawings.
Person B: The drawings are academical. On paper it should theoretically work but there a lot of factors the calculations don't factor.

Get the Academic Exitmug. An academic or a scholar that still maintains their ability to think critically and form informed opinions on topics within their field without the indulgence of “the company line “ or narrative that is in the mainstream. Note: these opinions are still fact based.
I heard that my professor was a misguided academic because she has first hand expertise unlike Bob on Twitter.
