Perhaps what bothers some people the most about the code test
is that it isn't something most people already know. And it
isn't something that can be learned by reading a book, watching
a video, etc. It's a skill, not "book learning".

In learning the code, a Ph.D in EE has to start at the same place
as a grade-schooler. And the grade schooler may learn faster and
do better! Perhaps it is this characteristic of the test - its
ability to act as a Great Equalizer - that causes some to resent
it so much.

It was never really about the actual test, but rather the effort required to
successfully prepare for the test.

Snagged a TA2 and a 4X5 last night... IOW, the effort was well worth it.

Yup, I've got several that I've never come across or even seen listed on
voice.
