I hate to quibble, Clark, but there is
sorta/vaguely/by-some-stretch-of-the-imagination a precedent for this, in
the true professions: your own, and the doctors, and the engineers (real,
certified engineers, not software pretenders like me [and if you think
software engineering as practiced today isn't pretense, go read McConnell's
"After the Gold Rush" -- scary!]). In those cases, the professional truly
does have more responsibilities than does the layman.
Of course, the true professions also have licensing/certification
requirements. Yeah, maybe that's what we need: a licensing board and a code
of standards and... (Ducking!)
