blinded and narrowed by their disciplinary concerns. >

Thank you, Bickman.

To think philosophically is human.  The tendency to philosophical expression
is certainly not limited to academics.   

Werner v B. was a smart and observant man.  I'd listen to him carefully on
any number of subjects outside of his "field."
