Please don't get me wrong. Academic work need not be detached from
real-world usefulness, in fact, academic work should have the potential
to solve real-world problems. I guess it is the time. I think that
academics should tackle real-world issues when a self-sustaining level
of core competency is there. It is certainly more difficult to craft an
academic question out of a real-world situation than to craft one out of
nothing. The latter can even be a case of grabbing a hypothetical
question from a text-book...
