"Amateur" had never referred to quality, it's always been about not making
money from it.
Au contraire, for it has always been about being a lover of the art, so that
even a professional can be an amateur given the right positive mindset
amateur
noun
a person who does something (such as a sport or hobby) for pleasure
and not as a job
adjective
- taking part in an activity for pleasure, not as a job
professional
adjective
paid to participate in a sport or activity
noun
- a person who has the type of job that needs a high level of
education and training

So those who falsely claim to the Dr title or pretend to be legally trained
are not professionals. Assuming they even work.
