People in fields where they write code that has to be proven can still know when it's appropriate to write bad hacky code. If they believe "I write proven code for my EHR system therefore all code must be like that." I would argue they're not pros.

Being a professional is knowing how to do your job well. Applying a single heuristic to every problem isn't that.
