That's actually a far more interesting argument against calling people "engineers" than accusing them of not having skills netted from a formal education.

I agree with you though. It's like holding on to "literally" being used solely for the opposite of "figuratively." It's pointless.

Hmm remind me again which university Brunel went to - he actually did an apprenticeship with a clock maker and learnt on the Job :-)
