"I'm a x"
No one cares what you are especially when your claims don't make sense when you look at the evidence. You might as well add a "quack" after "a". i.e. "I'm a quack doctor" It's like a person saying "I'm a cop" makes claims about what you did and then whoops review the camera footage and then suspended, fired or arrested for impersonation, false arrest under the color of law, etc.
There's a show I used to watch about the concierge doctor profession where a doctor who was fired due to politics happened to be at a luxury party and he had a different diagnosis than the attending physician and saved a woman's life at the party because the other physician looked to short circuit and missed clues. I'm glad I watched that show because I'm always reminded about how to deal with people who make claims especially with their title at the forefront.
Using your title as a reason for making claims especially ones that are unsupported and unsubstantiated, you've lost. If anything, when you are wrong you've opened up yourself to massive ridicule and consequences (potentially legal too).
Anyone who typically uses their title to bolster their claims rather than substantiate supporting evidence for their claims, I say are novices. Beginners. Apprentices. Weak arguments that they read in a book, online, research, paper, book whatever and just regurgitating it.
I like to point out my own misdiagnosis by doctors who piggyback off of previous doctors. I mean my god, one "doctor" said she made an anxiety diagnosis because of the antihistamine that was prescribed to me from a previous visit, ๐๐๐. This was a doctor who hardly listened to what was going on. Needless to say, insufficient supporting evidence.
A more plausible diagnosis was given by actively listening and making impartial claims with supporting evidence given the variety of symptoms described. "Anxiety" especially with intent to label it psychologicalย is a lazy catch all designation and doctors have proven that to me. It being of a symptom than the root cause or of psychological origin as I maintained from researching myself only proves that titles don't matter only substantiated supporting evidence matters.
The fact their beliefs could influence my own mental state and I resisted it because I stopped caring about their title or rather I started titling them "quacks" until they prove otherwise. They were wrong. I can and will ridicule them. "I'm a doctor bro, jus trust me" ๐
Titles are for clowns and beginners. We all know the real MVPs are people who do what they do with an open mind and patience without needing to refer to their title.
It's easy for me to figure out who are the novices and B-players these days. It's insane how typical the patterns are.
