Doctor comes from Doctorate, as in Doctorate Degree. it has literally NOTHING to do with medicine.
the title Doctor is bestowed upon literally Anyone who earns a doctoral degree in any subject. Philosophy, history, engineering, math, physics, etc.
PhD = Doctorate of Philosophy
MD = Doctorate of Medicine
Medical doctors are a subset of the larger group of doctors. They do not have sole rights to that title. and if it's so confusing, then medical doctors, if anyone, should be stripped of the right to use that title if they feel it's causing so much confusion, as it is medical people who have co-opted the term improperly in teh first place.

@catreecemacleod7556 "Like 1/2 the people you interact with won't be stupider than you are probably just because you don't really get to run into the people who are really, really dumb that often. They can't function in basic society for the most part, so you're probably not going to encounter them. " not true, they are out there every day. If you understand statistics you'll know that the majority of people are distributed about the mean, meaning most people I meet each day are very near average.
"Also, the more complicated a task you're doing, the less likely you are to encounter them" you have a point there.
"so something like just reading the youtube comments is a pretty big buffer because they need to be literate and know how to use a computer at a basic level for you to really encounter someone on here for instance." most people can read and write, you're more likely to meet relatively dumb people on the internet than anywhere else.
"So the chances are that it's less than half the people you'll interact with will be stupider than you are. In fact, given the people you interact with will often be people like your family doctor, your pharmacist, teachers and other professionals, you'll find a lot of them will be above average, so this makes it again even more unlikely. " I don't have a doctor or pharmacist. I'm actually so healthy I self diagnose myself even while in teh doctor's office, and they agree with me. I'm smart enough to not need a doctor and only go as required for periodic physicals required for the work I do. I almost never see the same doctor twice. While in college I taught the classes better than the professors did, so much so the professors thought I was one of their coworkers. I have been offered a job as a college professor multiple times, I did teach at a college for a time, I mentor people all teh time though on teh side, in math, history, engineering, physics, etc. I'm one of the top in my profession where I work, and it's a very small field and highly competitive.
But I know where I stand on the distribution, I have proven it so many times over now in more than one way too. I score in the top 1% not just intellectually, but performance-wise too, and have scored there since grade school. I guarantee you 99% of the people I meet each day are, relatively speaking, "dumber" than me. I take no pride in that, I think the average person is nearly as capable as me. There is nothing I know or can do I can't teach to someone else. But I beat people by besting them in every category overall, not just any one. I am not the best in the world at any one thing I can do either (I easily could, if I focused all my energy on just that thing for enough years), again my advantage lies in the overall abilities. But it gives me a strange perspective knowing this. Call it arrogance, but it's not arrogance when you can and have backed it up time and again. I know my limits, but also what I'm capable of.
"The question becomes more about how often do you go to McDonald's or Walmart, for your chances for that 1 out of 2 people statistic to come true." people watching can be fun, and annoying too.
" it means you will probably never encounter the dumbest people.", oh but I have, and do. It's not that hard, unless you're a shut-in.
