Faulty logic, Bill.

"Radio" is but a small, specialized part of electrical engineering. That's
one
reason Morse isn't and wasn't part of the curriculum. Heck, soldering is a
much
bigger part of electrical engineering than radio, and soldering is not
taught
in EE school either.

But if someone wants to learn radio on their own, and wants to
learn-by-doing,
amateur radio can be a really fun way to learn. Skill in Morse code is an
excellent tool in that learning process.

Then yoiu should have no problem gaining morse users from those that
want to learn by doing after the code test is gone.

And by that same reasoning, there's no reason to test for most of
what's in the written test, because there should be no problem gaining
technically-inclined people who want to learn by doing after the
theory parts of the written test are gone.
