How long will it take the code teachers and
code advocates to catch on to the concept,
or will they coninue on with the stepped hoops?

"Stepped hoops"? In my experience, people tend to learn Morse not in steps, but
by gradual increases. Granted that there are some "plateaus" (approximately
10WPM and 25WPM) but these are found to be related to the "mental mechanics" of
learning.

Up to about 10WPM trainees can still "count the dits", so moving beyond that
speed requires them to learn to recognize the "sound of the character" without
deliberate "counting the dits". This is what makes the Farnsworth training
method effective, in that the trainee is early acquainted to the "sound of the
character" at the higher speeds.

The 25WPM plateau seems related to sublimating copying to a "middle conscious"
level, where the characters flow at an almost sub-conscious level from the ear
to the fingertip without active thought about the actual characters heard.
