One does have to eat a pizza to evaluate its taste and whether they will
like it or not.


snip erroneous diatribe

incorrect anology... the correct one would be to say "you don't have to

eat
a pizza to know WHAT it is, and WHAT it's made of".

it's so easy.

No my analogy is quite correct. To determine the worth of pizza, you must
eat to see if it is a food worth your bother. Knowing the ingredients will
not tell you that. Watching other people eat one will not tell you that.
Same with Morse code. Reading about past and present usage, looking at the
table of dots and dashes, and watching other people operate, etc will not
tell you whether you like it. It will only tell you what it is and what it
is made of. Until you experience using the code for yourself (i.e. eating
the pizza for yourself), it is impossible to tell whether you will like it.
