.... people who play a musical instrument well, I can appreciate and have
a liking for... those with a code key in their hand I attempt to
avoid...

.... thank gawd they can't force us to suffer it... frankly, I don't
know of many places where they can practice it in public... other
citizens would get angry and ask 'em to leave... it would kinda be like
masturbating in public, everyone knows you do it, just don't do it in
front of them!!! tongue-in-cheek

I am betting just the opposite, and I bet the code reader can copy

Speed is a different issue than sloppy sending.

I recall an oldster on here bragging that he could send code so badly
that a No-Code Technician with a code reader couldn't copy it. All of
the other oldsters on here covered for him by claiming "banana-boat
swings" and other excuses for having a "unique" and incorrect fist.

That and the Farnsworth debacle led to the discovery that the FCC has
absolutely no working definition of Morse Code, yet the FCC denies
people access to hobby radio every day based upon an exam for
something
which they no longer have a definition for.
