The promise made when the original no-code proposal was new was that there
would be a MUCH more difficult technical exam. When they actually pushed
no-code through, they added five measly questions from the same lame
question pool already used for Technician licenses.


who made this promise?


I got it indirectly, so I don't know. But I got it from people I trusted, and
still trust.


prehaps your trust is misplaced

the only body with the POWER to make that promise and keep was the FCC,
today the NEVEC could make it but then only the FCC, and I have found
no evidence they ever made any such promise

I have Heard the ARRL said something like this may have been said by
the ARRL but they lack the power to make such a pledge
