I.e. There are quacks with PhDs in biology who can continue to “practice” and call themselves scientists. If you’re a quack in the legal field you will eventually be disbarred. Many states also require architects to provide proof of continuing education to remain licensed. Colorado is one such state. Once licensed to be either an architect or a structural engineer you are subject to the bylaws and regulations of professional conduct. If you go before the board and lose your license you can no longer call yourself an architect.

Quacks are labelled as quacks by other scientists in the same field and their work is ignored.

Scientists are rated by how their publications are viewed by other scientists. Poorly rated scientists have trouble getting jobs and grants.
