I'm really surprised at the anti academic sentiment I often hear from
those working in the trenches around me. An academics job is to
discover new approaches and techniques. Sometimes they work and
sometimes they don't. But, you can't tell until you try them. And often
what you or I loathe is held dear by other "real" programmers.

The basis of almost every tool I use was created by an academic. Their
successes vastly outweigh their failures.

Lastly, I don't believe that we can lay the blame for Hungarian on
academics. I believe that it was a Microsoft employee who is
responsible for this abomination. But, I'm not sure.
