Someone who is well-read and knowledgeable in a very specific subject area, and probably has a very high level qualification to prove it, but displays very little common sense or intelligence in other respects, and finds it difficult to grasp basic concepts.
The committee is made up of 16 acadumbics, none of whom really understand what their contribution needs to be, but have a very high opinion of their personal importance to the proceedings nonetheless.
