Who defines the rules of the game? Who authorises changes in them? And 
who is the referee? Also it seems the rules are different in different 
places and traditions. When you say somebody is "not a scholar", is 
that equivalent to the soccer player calling the American football 
player "not a football player"?

Won't help Jonathan.

Also the Bbaylonian scribes were scholars, however, not of the modern kind. 
Neither was Luther. Again, it has to do playing by the rules. The rules will 
be changing, yes, and at a time you will have to conclude that according to 
modern standards I will no longer be considered a scholar .. Luther is 
accoridng to modern standards not a contemporary scholar, rather the subject 
of scholarship. I think I play according to present rules for the game. If 
you follows the rules of yesterday, you are not part of the game. That may 
change according to circumstances, but that is as it is today.
