"For real people, if something works in theory, but not in practice, it doesn't work. For academics, if something works in practice, but not in theory, it doesn't exist."
--Nassim Nicholas Taleb
A corollary to what Vox Day said:
In academia there is no difference between academia and the real world; in the real world there is.
And a tip 'o the chapeau to Maggie's Farm for the first quote.
