I wouldn't argue.  And this has been the subject of 'lively debate' with respect
to things like the WMCCC, and is the main reason I have lobbied for the total
elimination of that 'classification'.  The main distinction between amateur and
professional is whether the program has been sold or not.  I don't think that
makes a lot of sense myself...
