I agree with this thinking. I feel the same way about titles such as “sailor” and “astronaut.”
I’m not a sailor because I go on a cruise and no one is an astronaut just because they took a joy ride in a suborbital rocket. A far as I’m concerned, you don’t deserve such titles unless you do it for a living.
