Correct. So ultimately the conclusion to this thread that one might draw is that the professions vary in complexity and nuance, even within themselves, and that attempting to fashion a hierarchy among them with incomplete information (and a hint of arrogance from those who are so inclined) is more likely to establish a false paradigm than to produce anything reflecting the complexities of any of the professions. In short, I think we're arguing the same thing and I agree with us.
