I must confess, I am somewhat dismayed that an individual who would say something that inane and obtuse is a professor.
I only wish academia were immune to this sort of nonsense. I actually feel as though I've noticed an increase in my experience of it since coming to university.
With the isolated environment, there is a certain tendency for academics to... fossilize. If the professor in question was an older man, likely he was a product of his time who changed little since then.
For all the "liberal" reputation the academic world has, in many ways it is remarkably backward-looking, except possibly in cutting-edge science.
