Well, ditto. The most meaningless job title I ever wound up with was "Senior Systems Architect" - really only something they could put on my business cards so they could sell me for consultancy gigs. Bah!
It's not what they call you, it's what they pay you - call by reference versus call by value, I guess.

hah, when I was employed by the Danish under ministry in charge of standardization (called IT og Telestyrelsen at that time) management people came through one day and asked what titles we wanted, and for various amusing reasons another guy and I said we want to be called "XML Architects".

This is correct because if I'm writing checks, the one making the most is generally my "senior" person.
I suppose this doesn't scale well though, especially when you start talking about niche skillsets where being objectively "good" gets conflated with "useful at the moment."
