As someone with a PhD in electrical engineering, I care exactly zero percent about a paid for stamp from an org calling an me engineer or not.

This is why the planes are falling out of the sky now, this attitude of yours. As an eminent master and founder of the entire field of electrical engineering, I am much more qualified than you to have an opinion on this matter as well.
This is nonsense. Your credibility’s (and mine) come from the body of work and associated experience. Not a stamp from an org that costs x dollars per year.

I would argue that planes are falling out of the sky because management types believed that getting somebody to take a test and get a stamp is sufficient to call somebody an engineer and delegate them critical work with irrespective of their work or experience.
