"Proficiency" starts at 10 wpm.

That's absurd ... proficiency is a relative term that must be quantified.
One can be proficient at a variety of levels in any activity requiring
some sort of acquired skill.

We might consider the arguments presented in the book "The Art and Skill of
Radiotelegraphy".

Why?

The author had done extensive study on Morse code
teaching methods, learning abilities, etc.

Cool. Who is the author, what is his callsign? And what is the
copyright date?

I'll bet he wrote it long after the code began to wane in any (every)
radio service.

There gpes the Brain child on another erroneous tangent. Only in the
ham shacks of NCI members has use of code began to wane within ham
radio. If he'd bother himself to actually check what'seing done *on
the air* he'd soon find that the use of Morse has grown within the
ARS,not waned. All this in spite of the hearfelt wishes and strenuous
actions of him and the likeminded.

Poor DICK. Believes his own BS.
