Weiss made a valid point; he wasn't slamming a competitor, he was clarifying the correct meaning and usage of an industry term.
I understand the distinction, and understood what Chef Weiss wrote (though I think it could have been worded better). I am aware of what an executive chef is (my family is in the business). Regardless of experience levels, the chef that oversees all of the other chefs (Sous, [pastry, etc) is the Executive Chef.

You made the the statement entirely different when you added "accomplished". Until then it is only a title.
