Its not so much being detached from reality (even though many are). It is far more about having no external incentive to evolve your practices. I can't tell you how many people I've met over the years who teach the same way they learned things in the 60s/70s/80s and don't change things AT ALL to be relevant within the current landscape and allow for students to attach and develop mastery in content. I finally was able to talk some people into allowing a grading scale that doesn't include F's (instead, students receive a NC grade, which doesn't impact GPA so students can still remain at a University in other majors but still holds them from being able to progress in their curriculum), which is something many colleges and universities have been doing for years now.
