Academia is 'full' of people who lack intellectual integrity. Imagine Frege's response to Bertrand Russell's letter concerning barber's paradox: 'it's obvious!' Instead of doing that, Frege openly acknowledged Russell's criticism in his book.

Imagine how much worse it is outside where there's even no pretense of adhering to any intellectual rigor.

Also within academia there is still a wide spectrum of intellectual rigor across the disciplines. Some things are just more verifiable than others.
