Yes but I mean "difficult" in a very particular way, and I'm making a specific comparison with professions in which practice is largely dictated by licensing authority. The journalistic canard "would you go to a..." is bogus precisely because journalism is not a profession. Anyone can (and should) practice it. That's NOT to day it is easy. Further, journalists still don't agree on what news is, or they define it in maddeningly fuzzy terms. No brain surgeon could work under those definitional conditions. Given the history that you point out, I probably should have said "rocket science." :-) Tim… Yes but I mean “difficult” in a very particular way, and I’m making a specific comparison with professions in which practice is largely dictated by licensing authority.
