How's that an argument for anything?

If I call myself a surgeon, does that discredit genuine surgeons?

No, but if a major portion of those whose votes count in deciding who gets to operate have a long history of recognizing any self-styled surgeon as a genuine surgeon, then "Only surgeons should perform surgery" offers very little assurance that any standard of surgery would actually exist when only "surgeons" perform surgery.
