No, not really.

Except for the fact that the old timers had to do it, so they're
making sure that the newcombers have to. Nothing really
past that except misplaced anger & meaningless, needless
jealousy.

I can understand why Novice and Technician Plus required five words
per minute -- the treaty and all -- but why did General require
thirteen words per minute and Amateur Extra twenty words per minute?

Is there a real reason?

Jack.
