Mastery is a term of art that should be bestowed on one by one's peers, not simply because they hold a certain position. I would be honored to be called "Master" distiller" one day, but only if I were recognized as such by my peers and mentors.<br /><br />"Chief" implies authority without implying mastery.Joel Elderhttp://www.quintaessentia.conoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-4827479961380404362015-03-09T22:25:28.269-05:002015-03-09T22:25:28.269-05:00I have applied for trademark status of and protect...I have applied for trademark status of and protection of "I", "me", "you" and "they".

It does sound inconvenient.
