The insistance that a person know Morse Code at a resonable speed in order to
be "real ham" is similar to religious fanatics, particualrly Christian
fundamentalists, who think that a person has to believe in god in order to be a
good and moral person. They cannot prove that their god even exists. So with
the PCTA, they cannot prove that code is useful in light of communications
advancements that have been made over the past several decades.
If a "religion" is defined to be a system of ideas that contains unprovable
statements, then Kurt Godel taught us that mathematics is not only a religion,
it is the only religion that can prove itself to be one.
