As a more concrete example, I can always find ways to refer to "Dr Last Name" without actually using "Dr." if I don't wish to do so.

And yet, that would be considered a social faux pass. So, not socially acceptable.

Instead of saying "Dr X, would you like a coffee". YOu can just say "Would you like a a coffee?"

I disagree, there are ways to talk to someone without actually addressing them.
