That, my friend, is, as I have noted before is bogus argument.

Stop worrying about the Rules don't say we can't and just deal with they say.

The law doesn't explicitly deny the ability to rob X person, it says don't rob.

That, I am sorry to say, is the very definition of a bogus argument because the rules do, in fact, prohibit caterers, accountants, gaffers, grips and so forth.  Here is the rule:

Group names of crew members together within each role available and list in exactly the same order credited. The table below gives each of the crew roles available within DVD Profiler. For each category, include only those people credited with the roles listed in the "Role" and "Credited As" columns. If someone is not credited with one of these roles (or direct translations of these roles), do not include them in the Crew section.

I could be wrong, though I don't think I am, but caterers, accountants, gaffers, grips and so forth are not listed in the "Role" or "Credited As" columns.

In addition to being bogus, your argument is a red herring as we are not talking about what can and can't be included.  Based on the rules, without question, the credit can be entered as 'Music by' is a valid Profiler credit.  What we are talking about, is whether or not we can use an outside source to determine the proper category.

When Music by and Lyrics by are credited together, they are song writer credits without need for knowing anything else. You can't credit the lyricist as song writer without also listing the music credit as song writer, otherwise you don't have a song.

Maybe they were all acapella. 

  You still need musical notes to know how to sing it a capella.

Because it can be taken both ways, assuming we want 'correct data', we need to consult outside sources.  While the rules don't say we can, they also don't say we can't.

Skip

We have to credit all music as composer or we must credit accountants? OK, Skip...

Don't try to confuse me with your Earth logic.

I'm also an accountant.

Credit all the accountants!
