    The issue comes down to how “sacred” the word engineer is.

    Can I give you medical advice and call myself a doctor if I’m not licensed? Can I call myself a lawyer and give you advice without taking the bar?

    Can I give my advice or opinion “as an engineer” if I’m not licensed?

      Okay, but there’s a difference between trying to run an unlicensed practice and just talking shit on the internet.
