But my point is on the efficacy of it. I think regimentation doesn't work well in fields where there's complex problem-solving involved.
That's what practicing a profession stands for - that you cannot be dictated by laymen, etc and that you're held accountable to results.
I mean, hospital management cannot come in and dictate how the surgeon should wield his knife (but they can & must keep track of his success rate, and question if they see red flags). Or lay administrators cannot come in and dictate how a dam should be designed or what calculations are to be performed to get a working engine.
Regimentation works only for the simplest of things. Beyond that - it's hopeless.
