I think this is a subtle denigration of talmidei  chachamim in general -- 
saying that their midos are no better than anyone else's  and that learning Torah 
doesn't improve their midos.   Possibly you  feel a bit sour because you have 
been disappointed by certain particular  talmidei chachamim.  But I don't 
think that as a general rule, it is  accurate to say that Torah learning lishma 
has no effect on one's midos.
