Excuse me for being only 8 years old in 1958.
However, I've NOT contributed to this "dumbing down" approach to the
hobby. I did NOT ask for multiple choice questions. I can assure you
that my code was 100% copy, BUT - the stupid test wasn't random 5
character groups.
So whom do people hold responsible? The FCC? The ARRL? Or is it
manufacturer's whom want to sell products?

There were essay questions, math questions (you had to do the math on
the test), and you had to draw diagrams.

True, the General test today covers more than the General test of
1973 when I took it for the second time. I took it originally in
1956 and the content was about what is on today's test.
