Then why isn't knowledge of Morse code and the CW mode
sufficient? Why must someone be forced to memorize
the individual characters?
We aren't made to memorize every value of resistor and capacitor, or
every offset for the six meter repeater subband.
And anyone copying CW character by character is never going to get any
further than someone talking letter by letter. Those who don't
understand it denigrate it.
