-> His Point is that the Test is a JOKE proving nothing but Memory capabilities
-> here in the US. We also have a Question Pool abnd the Test element questions
-> are drawn from it. BUT, particualrly by using a Computer, you can have the
-> Questions and Correct Answer Flash on the screen in random fashon allowing
-> you to Memorize the Whole Question/Answer Pool without Ever understanding
-> one thing. Even before the day of the computer boks that allowed you to do
-> the same thing were popular. Just read it cover to cover until you
-> "Recognized"(NOT Understood) all the answers.

But the point is, that kids have been doing that for years in school in any
case.  Its nothing new.  Understand that most new hams dont want to build
anymore.  Not all, but most.

That is not to say that I agree with memorizing.  BTW, how long would you have
to stare at a screen to memorize 100 or so questions?  How many questions in
the question bank?
