RED seems to be characterising what would have, in mediaeval and pre-industrial times, been called the Master Craftsman. Someone who, through dint of many years of learning, experience, and practical application, has become capable of producing work that is both highly suitable to the problem space, but also have a high standard of quality and finish.
There were many more craftsmen than there were masters. The masters were acknowledged by their peers, through acclimation rather than certification. Perhaps informally, or perhaps formally through the agency of a craft guild. Am I missing some nuance of the definition of RED?
