reasons, I interpreted that as him asking for the academic reasons
behind the design of generics, not that his reasons for asking were
academic.

No, I misread his last sentence: when he said he was asking for academic reasons, I interpreted that as him asking for the academic reasons behind the design of generics, not that his reasons for asking were academic. |
"I have academic reasons for asking." would have been far clearer.
