Sometimes the more you dive down the rabbithole of formal education, you lose the plot as far as creating and applying practical solutions to the real world.

I'm not saying absence of education is ideal or that education is bad, just that far too often we yield to people who have spent all their time analyzing and studying things as opposed to people who are out there doing things. We then expect these people to have all the answers for real world applications and quite frankly more often than not they do not. But their academic success makes them far too overconfident that they do.
