While I find pursuing perfect spacing with a hand key a fun activity, I
don't find perfect CW fun to copy.
Machine perfect (keyer or keyboard sent) CW is, to me, like listening to
computer-generated speech.
I love a fist with personality - even when that personality makes some a
little hard to follow (like a very deep accent in speech).

...I honestly thought my code was darn good which proves how ineffective it
is to try to evaluate oneself. It's equally ineffective to expect that
another human can provide accurate feedback. The human listener will
have a tendency to guess the upcoming character, allow his or her mind
to 'adjust' poor word spacing so the word comes out "right", etc.
Clearly, some device that can objectively evaluate one's sending is the
best feedback. This is without doubt the best investment I could have
made toward my personal goal of developing the 'manual' fist possible.
