I think people resist the "the college educated wonk crowd aren't important" because if so, it basically means political science and theory isn't important and we just don't give a shit about academic or intellectual qualifications. It would be the death knell for democracy.

It would be basically an entire demographic accepting that they do not matter, that they will never matter, and they may as well just despair and flock to populist candidates. Nobody can really tolerate that idea.
