I imagine they'd consider Academia to be, if not a "business" environment, certainly a professional one, so they wouldn't be trying to edge them out at all.




I also should add that I completely understand the feelings of being, as you put it, "duped." It's perfectly normal to feel that way, and I've been in the that position myself more than a few times myself.

I've just reached a point where I can be a bit philosophical about it because I've seen it happen enough times to more or less expect to be caught this way from time to time.

That doesn't mean I'm not sympathetic to your feelings and reactions, just that I have a different view of such things, that's all.
