"True professionals don't fear amateurs" - they just don't. In fact, the true professional encourages the amateur...

A few years ago, typesetting, wedding photography, graphic design and other endeavors that were previously off limits to all but the most passionate amateurs started to become more common. The insecure careerists fought off the amateurs at the gate, insisting that it was both a degradation of their art as well as a waste of time for the amateurs. The professionals, though, those with real talent, used the technological shift to move up the food chain. It was easy to encourage amateurs to go ahead and explore and experiment... professionals bring more than just good tools to their work as professionals.

...to be more professional.

Not to protect the professional's territory, but to bring the level of professionalism and excellence to all who seek it.
