Having had pretty much every job title between assistant engineer and
director of engineering, I don't care what label I'm given just as long
as my invoices get paid...

If you are going to continue to argue by assertion from a position of
entrenched ignorance, there's little point in carrying on.

As a rule getting paid is no indication of quality of output.
Contractors get paid a lot of cash flitting from one post to the next
and the quality of the output of a good proportion of them is terrible.

confronted by God," Bryne asked on his show The Meaning of Life. "What
will Stephen Fry say to him, her, or it?"
"I'd say, bone cancer in children? What's that about?" Fry replied.
"How dare you? How dare you create a world to which there is such misery
that is not our fault. It's not right, it's utterly, utterly evil."
"Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates
a world that is so full of injustice and pain. That's what I would say."

They don't _have_ to be. You can declare them elsewhere - though often
they can then be an ordinary function instead.
