Yes, of course. My point exactly. When one does a really good PR job, large
segments of the population will mantle one's profession with an aura of
priestly respectability. When this happens, people will refuse to apply the
same conclusions that they might draw about licensed egg-handlers and
dog-barbers to, say, doctors. The revered professions can then call their
own shots without much murmuring from the public.
