My final original point was that that a person who would not study
Morse code in order to get a General license must have an interest akin
to mine towards piloting a plane. That is to say "Thanks but no thanks."



The skill has to be relevant. You should not use some unrelated skill as some
sort of barrier to getting a higher license class

Morse code does not necessarily show more interest. Its possible that someone
not interested in Morse may have an interest in many more areas therefore
having more interest in amateur radio than some that are mostly interested in
Morse code.

No, of course interest in Morse code does not in itself show more
interest in the ARS in general.

My thoughts were that if a person is really interested in something,
they will pursue that, even if there are some parts that they are not
concerned with.
