What a PhD does is "invention". The term "innovation" refers to bringing already invented things to the market.

So, if that "perfect man", the university advisor ask for so much invention that there is no time for innovation you are warmly welcomed to life in the ivory tower.

The best "man" is your free will. Its not the "perfect man" but the best we have.
