A very astute observation Peter.

I don't know the current requirements for various levels of licenses in
the UK but over here even a certified retard can pass an Extra as no CW
is required and anyone can be trained to memorize enough of the question
pool to eventually pass.

While this is true, some people pass the amateur extra test without studying anything. I and one friend are two that I know that did, we know electronics. I knew all of the answers to all questions save two that I never heard of. (I guessed that it was about a form of modulation) I had to study the general test, most of that is not about electronics. That I had to learn by memorization as many must do to pass the extra. I took both at one setting, going from tech+ to extra in an hour. All I ever wanted to be is a general and that is the one thing I never was. (never advanced either)
