My doctorate of English doesn't imply that either. Still have a doctorate. Still a doctor.

Okay go down to the hospital and tell everyone you're a medical doctor. I want to see how far you make it.

"Medical" doctor. You've moved the goal posts.

Computer engineer. Software engineer. Train engineer. The qualifier is what let's you differentiate. Your claim is that the generic term only covers a subset of how people use the word.

I stated that doctor was a protected title and it is, my lack of specification matters not.
