Self-Identification of faith is one thing. Self-identification of an academic or professional practice is an altogether different thing.

No one would go to a sel-identified physician for treatment if he KNEW the individual had no professional status whatsoever.

To compare the two and call it an argument is just plain silly.

A Bahá'í is a "Quickener of Mankind" according to the Holy Word. He is far greater in station and responsibility than a sociologist ! And yet theory of "self-definition" applies to Bahá'í but not to sociologist?

Dear Max,
 
Exactly!
 
Self-identity as to faith is one thing and self-identity as to practice of profession is entirely another.
 
Regards,
