"Rarely" is a strong word. I think the truth is closer to, "Academia has screwed up as a whole in a very small number of cases, but usually works just fine, and always self-corrects eventually."

I'm not talking about screwups. I'm talking about fundamentally unaligned objectives between academia (advancing the edges of knowledge) and industry (making knowledge useful in an economic sense).

It's not a problem, it's just something you have to recognize so you don't have the wrong expectation.
