I *thought* the point was not 'are we professionals' as in do we carry

granted a distinction of reproducible quality and education that would
allow us to call ourselves members of a Profession (this being the one
where you can sign passports).

Thinking only in terms of a professional manner, I have to admit that my first response echoed Louis Armstrong's on the definition of jazz:

"If you have to ask, you'll never know."
