Do you think this division is a reflection of the what industry and academia value...practice vs. theory? Perhaps individuals that are frustrated with the lack of academic support for their research areas take both their theory and practice into the industrial realm.

I was coming form the viewpoint that once people get their PhDs (or perhaps before they even get that far) that industry sort of lures them away from the academy because their is less resistance to incorporating new technology and ideas.
These new ideas and technologies might not work, but you don't have to change an entire curriculum...and if these people are leaving the academy...in essence an army of leaders in new tech. and adopting new practices is leaving as well...leaving the academy with only a few of the "brave ones" you mentioned.
