When that is done we can remove all references to training and
technical/operational competency from the Basis and Purpose of Part 97.

"Technical" is still covered in the written tests. Aside from
no more CW test, "operational" still has a few questions in the
writtens. Oh, people newly licensed will make newbie errors,
but most people are smart enough to soon spot and correct
such errors.


Remember that 14.313 was that way back in the days of 13wpm
generals... And that HF didn't go down the toilet after
Restructuring 2000 happened.
