Maybe it should be a rule. And that's why I thought it was one.

Im a licensed dementia therapist
Regardless of what I am personally, there are mountains of evidence behind my scope of practice
If my relevant credentials aren't standing on their own,
then whatever a responder says is only dodging
A dodger's next step is to get a consult w/ another clinician
The requirements for licensure as a dementia therapist, though they may vary from state to state, are no joke. Years of experience in a medical field, and a four year degree (in anything). You also have to attend a seminar. Not sure how long the seminar is. Could be one day. Could be 500 hours. That's all fine and good. And I'm sure you are qualified to practice your profession.
But this qualification doesn't necessarily translate to an expertise in cognitive science. You are likely only required to learn the bits of cognitive psychology that pertain to your practice, with (I'm sure) some more general instruction also heaped on.
A masters degree in cognitive science or psychology would do more to suggest expertise. And even THEN... in a hypothetical world where you had a masters degree in cog psy... you've still only made statements of authority up to this point. Something tells me if you actually had a master's degree, you'd not do that. You'd say [this idea] is wrong because of x (which is empirically supported in cognitive studies). You have provided less than a teaspoonful of substance in all your posts combined.
So-- no-- you're relevant credentials are not standing on their own. And even if you had relevant credentials, you're not properly engaging in argument. That's something you'd learn in grad school... how to argue an original thesis using a proper methodology.
