I wouldn't call them mediocre, but this isn't far from the truth. The academia is corrupt and nepotic. Having clout (i.e. getting published in prestigious journals and jerking your citation index off) is way more important than actual talent or work ethic. That said, name me a single large human institution that doesn't suffer from this. It all went downhill after the second industrial revolution when science was no more about a bunch of rich aristocrats leisurely discovering how the world works, but about MUH INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY. You see this today with people worshiping STEM like their panacea.
