I don't think that there's a higher concentration of morons in academia than in larger society. However, their professional experience is pretty different from the so called 'real world' so they definitely can have some unfathomable blind spots.

I agree with this, especially that the number of morons isn't higher than society at large, and therein lies the problem with society.
