Precisely.
Older human, PHD... educated at Harvard... 20 years of professional experience, $600,000 / year income, employees that depend on you... patients that depend on you... colleagues that depend on you. Scientific contributions to society that are invaluable, and can enhance the lives of millions. Their lives are INFINITELY more valuable than that of a 1 week old person. Yet, do we see that doctor rolling around in his Porsche with a "Doctor on Board" sign? No... because he's not a pretentious asshole. But holy shit... there's a million and one mothers that want EVERYONE to know they have a child on board. Let's stop traffic... there's a mother coming through!
It's analogous to saying "VIP"... with mothers posting a sign that says "VIP coming through!"
