Essentially, the VE team practice of using Farnsworth spacing,
however convenient for all involved, DID NOT HAVE A LEGAL
BASIS FOR THAT PRACTICE.


Actually, it did have a legal basis.

The FCC was informed of the use of Farnsworth-spaced Morse Code, and of other
standard practices of the VE teams. FCC took no exceptions, and there were no
dissenting opinions in the FCC or the VE teams. Therefore, the use of
Farnsworth spaced Morse Code had a legal basis.

In addition, anyone who prefers non-Farnsworth-spaced Morse Code for their test
need merely request it and the VE team will provide it.

Those who understand how Morse Code works have no problem with the use of
Farnsworth spacing.
