Many times, being an SLP doesn't really mean anything in practice, e.g. I went to the one of the best SLPs in my country as a teen (she coached professionals and media personalities, wrote numerous publications and books about stuttering etc.) but still couldn't help me, even though she was a great person and God bless her. And I needed a "snake oil salesman's" method as an adult who isn't even a professional (and constantly bashed by so-called "professionals" and "experts") to achieve a level of fluency which makes my life much better and more fulfilled (even though I don't see stuttering as a "crime" or a "shameful" thing, but it's inconvenient and unnecessary in my eyes). I think you can see the irony in this.
