[CW] Dissing the ARRL

Sorry, but you are misguided or misinformed.  It's an "old boy club" that
says "I went through it, so you have to as well".  No dispute that standards
have been lowered in the past, but the fact is, the most recent question
pool revisions have made the tests significantly harder.

If you don't like the way the tests are constructed, why don't you get on
the question pool committee and push for more/harder questions.
