Why is that a misnomer, Hans?


Because it is misleading. "Technician"
implies an emphasis on technical training,
skills, and qualifications. (snip)



That's a tired, old, debate, Hans. One that I'm rather surprised would
still bother you. It's a "Technician" license in an "Amateur" Radio Service.
That hardly suggests an overwhelming degree of training, skills, or
qualifications. If you want to make those names into something more that
that, some would certainly object to "Extra" as an adverb meaning unusual or
exceptional. You're far from exceptional.
