@BowsacNoodle @kf01 @dictatordave Yep. I have seen MANY professors embrace "Whiplash" style education, and it's so bad that it creates this giant crack in the pipeline that creates extremely skilled and specialized professionals.

I don't like the idea of being forced to do something like this, but forcing the nation's intelligent people into a room with similar people to go do something healthy - perhaps even just once a week - is the type of thing that would bolster a worthwhile nation (and which would hasten an unworthy nation's fall).
