There is a saying in business: "When you can't give someone a raise, give them a title."
Giving someone a raise costs money. It is expensive, especially if you have many employees. Giving a title is easy and free. But soon, you will notice that people have all sorts of exaggerated titles. It can almost be like a Dr. Seuss book: one title, two titles, red title, blue title!
It is a good thing this is not done in Karate!
