Fair enough, but as a member of a protected profession myself (engineering) it's not the regulations per se that prevent people from gaming the system - it's a culture of professional pride. Where I practice we have this weird "swearing in" type ritual developed by Kipling back when the profession was born. I think it actually does more to ensure high standards than any legal threat the society can bring to bear on bad actors.
