In foil, I think lawyers are the clear answer by making persuasive arguments to the judge.
A doctor would probably win sabre by being able to patch their own wounds in between rounds.
The engineer wins in epee by spending the first 13 minutes of the bout drafting an elaborate and costly plan to win during the last 2.

Engineers win all the bouts, but somehow the lawyers still end up the winners of the tournament

Engineer.
'Cause they know how to fix their equipment, including that little button the directors are always looking for.

Is there a difference between a doctor and a physician? Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.

And what does the title of this thread have to do with the actual contents of the first post? Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.

you call someone with a PhD "doctor", the exact same way you call a physician a "doctor", too. thats the difference between doctors and physicians.

yeah you can get a doctorate in pretty much anything.
but when people think "doctor," they think of an RD (real doctor, otherwise known as an MD)
