  Yeah but you don't really expect everyone to hold their work to a very high standard. You do expect it from most professionals.

    As an aside, "bar exam" and "passing the bar" comes from the bar/railing physically or symbolically separating the public from the legal practitioners in a courtroom. "Set a high bar" comes from pole vaulting.

      Since I found this interesting I had to look this up in wikipedia: >The call to the bar[1] is a legal term of art in most common law jurisdictions where persons must be qualified to be allowed to argue in court on behalf of another party and are then said to have been "called to the bar" or to have received "call to the bar". "The bar" is now used as a collective noun for barristers, but literally referred to the wooden barrier in old courtrooms, which separated the often crowded public area at the rear from the space near the judges reserved for those having business with the court. Barristers would sit or stand immediately behind it, facing the judge, and could use it as a table for their briefs.

    > You do expect it from most professionals If you've never met a "professional" perhaps.
