If you can point to a title that is not backed by subjectivity, I’d like to know about it.

The examples that tend to come up here are things like Lawyer or Medical Doctor. And yet, every person in those fields is still subjectively different from the next in terms of knowledge and qualification.

I’m not claiming nothing objective is being used; I’m claiming that the title application is subjective, because humans determine when the title is applicable - not some external source.
