The other factor is that professions were handed down through generations, from father to son, over hundreds of years.
It's how some families got last names that aligned with their professions. The wisdom and learned experience of dozens of generations, built upon for hundreds of years, will dwarf the academic book learning of schools every time.
Most people who actually work in their fields are well aware of how utterly stupid most "experts" are, like scientists, engineers, and academics who couldn't design, theorize, or think their way out of a wet bag, and have never touched a tool relevant to their profession their entire lives. Much of a working man's time is spent wondering what the hell the engineers were thinking, if at all, because their decisions only make sense on paper, but are utterly stupid in reality. This disparity is becoming even more profound as the competency crisis gets worse, and DEI initiatives of colleges and companies inflames the issue.
