Stupid Law Academics

I came across this paragraph in my first week of Tax Law.

"...Without a theory you cannot explain why a Panda is not a bear, a whale is not a fish, or a tomato is not a vegetable. Moreover, you have no basis for arguing that professional wrestling is not a sport, that men should not be allowed to compete in synchronized swimming events, or about anything else that matters. Why would anyone suppose that the study of law is any different than these gripping issues?"

Tax law is trying to appeal to its much under-represented WWF demographic bracket.

the author is advocating studying theory instead of caving in to the students' demands for practical knowledge.

however, none of the issues listed matter, nor are they gripping issues, nor are they issues remotely proximate to anything I have ever cared about, with the possible exception of the WWF.
