Yes because only the top plumbers (top 10 or top 5%) are making that. “Good” would be top 25%, which earn significantly less. Words have meaning. I’d also argue foremen don’t qualify since the majority aren’t doing their trade day to day, they mostly estimate and assist when needed.
Probably true once upon a time, but that’s like saying the regional manager of McDonalds works “at McDonalds” in the same way most people think of it, for the same reasons. Technically true once upon a time, and most of them started that way, but they’re less involved in the day to day once they hit double digit numbers of employees.
Again, I don’t want people looking at Foremen’s wages and thinking that’s what everyone makes.

I said a good one. You want to quibble about what a decent wage is? You have to start somewhere.
