How is that some folks can spend hours telling you why something can't be
done and someone else can actually do it in a fraction of time that the
dissenter took to tell you ---- can't can't can't?

One reason is self-esteem. Some of the people in my local club said they didn't
want to learn Morse code at first, then they learned it anyway. By the way,
same persons in club that did that now claim to enjoy Morse code. People that
don't want to learn the code have the self esteem not to be pressured into it.

Another reason is image. They don't want it shown that they put effort into a
worthless (as perceived by non-Hams) pursuit.

Its also irrelavant.

Its also unfairly positioned in between the (technical) license classes. That
equates code to technical ability.
