Reminds me of something I read 35 years ago...

"The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an
exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."
John William Gardner 10/8/1912 - 2/16/2002

Joe the plumber doesn't seem to have credentials in either...
