And yet you say code is "necessary"? As an unqualified blanket statement
that is laughable.

Nope it is not laughable. There are many necessary things in life that
people do not do. They choose for reasons of their own to omit them.
Annual physicals are a "necessary" item for people of middle age and older
but I know quite a few people who do not get them. Keeping one's weight
under control is "necessary" but there's a lot of us carrying more weight
than we should.

Okay, so now morse code skill makes one "healthy?!?" :-)

Yes, morse code skill is absolutely necessary to get rid of invading
space aliens. [see movie "Independence Day"]

Morse code skill is absolutely necessary to aid the survivors of the
next Titanic sinking or get away from icebergs. [see movie "Titanic"]

Morse code skill is absolutely necessary for ALL emergency and
disaster communications...and that is why all the public safety
folks depend on morse code skill for all their communications
involving life and death situations.

Right.
