In response to the IEng/CEng Equal but Different similies for doctors, it's not really the distinction between 'junior' doctor and a consultant, but (to me) more between a GP and a consultant. That is the GP does have certain capabilities beyond the 'junior' doctor, dealing with a broad range of issues with competence, while the Consultant is expected to have in a sense a greater (but different) level of capability in their specialist area.
Apologies if I've misused the 'junior' doctor terminology for the initial career stage. The wider world probably isn't ready for what they see as irrelevant distinctions that we think we can make...
Maybe we are describing it all wrong anyway (see the diversity literature regarding techne vs empathe)
