What mode are those folks using for their alleged violations? It isn't
Morse Code!
Yes man I know that, but does'nt that blow a hole for those folks who
code to
stay as a filter?
Not really.
No test can be a perfect filter that somehow guarantees perfect
behavior by everyone who passes it. That doesn't mean we don't need
testing.
Consider this plain, simple fact: All of those violators mentioned
above allegedly passed *written* tests which covered the rules,
regulations and operating practices. In fact most of them passed
several written tests. Yet those tests have not prevented them from
running afoul of the regulations. Thus, the written exams are not a
"filter" either, even though they deal directly with the rules and
regs.
So, should we just dump the written tests because they're not a
perfect filter?
