Milky is clearly an academic since:
1. He asks interesting questions, but never answers them, except that...
2. He answers questions with another question.
3. You think you are getting somewhere, but he moves the goalposts.
4. He is always quoting other people.
5. He argues with people who want to agree with him.
6. In short, he treats us all like students who need to be taught how to think.
