What is really a Scientist and how one becomes a such highly prized person? Is it the following route a valid one to become a worthy scientist?

Premise: As far as I I know the term " Scientist" in not protected by law all over the world ( it is like " Engineer" in UK) so it my be used by anyone independently by his/her education level and orientation. https://www.the-ies.org/joining
I agree with you on every word and it just reinforces me that I was right in my writing earlier in the forum.
An engineer who does not know how to decode mathematical formulas or interpret physical science even with his doctorate is worth nothing, because he will meet an engineer who has completed a bachelor's degree and will do research that, based on scientific or mathematical science knowledge, will not understand anything so you and I are on the same line. Well done you are a true frid.
Indeed there are many jobs that will not hire an engineer who does not know how to decode mathematical formulas or interpret physical science. But there are engineer jobs that don't require these skills so
even if initially, the engineer had that knowledge with the years if it's not used or applied in their job they will forget it. They may gain other skills in product engineering and project engineering etc. The field is so wide
that there is a good mix of jobs that require high math and physics or chemistry and there are jobs that require less match and more other specialized knowledge and processes.
Integration Engineers may have different skills set than Component Design Engineers, Chemical Engineers vs Product Engineers, Software Engineers, etc, etc.
