Can you with a straight face, tell me that the person is
going to assume that it means elimination of the test?


I can tell you with a perfectly straight face that an uninvolved bystander
probably wouldn't think anything, simply because the issue doesn't mean
anything to him. As far as I can see, only an involved ham would have any
interest in NCI at all, and that type of person would surely know what the
debate is all about.

However, the words you quoted had nothing to do with NCI. They were
intended to address Jim's desire that everyone opposed to the code test must
specifically use the words "code test" during any discussion of the issue.
