In a nutshell, we have two very different schools of thought here. The academics are constrained by their own rules and assumptions which tend to keep their thinking inside the box.



Frank, on the other hand, is able to read all of the "in the box" data and then figure out where it is right and where it is wrong and then apply it in the real world.



Frank's ability to think outside of normal parameters really pisses academics off because you can't teach or learn this type of thinking. Frank's success further pisses off the academics because it is difficult to refute success and it forces the academics to rethink their own approaches.



Frank is beating his head against a rock trying to get academics to think outside the box.



I learned more about monitors in 2 days at Frank's house than I did in twenty years of collecting them in the field. Their are some academics that could learn a lot in a two day trip to Frank's place if they were open to actually learning something new.



Unfortunately, most people are two constrained by their own rules to open themselves up to new ways of thinking.
