Anybody can say whatever, even yelling fire in a crowded theater, but that still doesn’t make them a real engineer.

Oh, absolutely! And let's not forget, you're not a real musician unless you've got a Musician's License. All those unlicensed folks playing in orchestras and bands are just faking it, obviously.

I know journalists are huge proponents of free speech, but only for "licensed and bonded journalists" from reputable institutions like the New York Times; ordinary folks deserve the business end of the law.

Indeed. If you're not building medieval siege works then you too aren't a real engineer.

I’m a doctor professor, sounds better than engineer.
