In my experience, the gap was more between "people that do things/makers" (designers, hackers, texters, testers, linguists, statistics people) and "people that talk" (aka business type people, usually economy students). It occured that the talking-only people where at some point so out of touch from the work that actually happens, but yet in charge, and interfering with everybody.

Sounds like broken company culture, not a general truth. I've never experienced that problem anywhere I have worked. The only problem I've seen is that the "talkers" often do not know what is possible, and the "makers" often don't know what the business needs to actually make money. The big moves come when both sides get together to determine the company's direction.

Business type people make businesses.
