I completely agree with you, my friend – however, my point was that with respect to the components of “professionalism,” “competency” does lend itself to the application of standards (and rightfully so), but there are “standards” that just may add to the confusion with regards to some aspects of this industry’s operation. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
