Look at it this way, these types of people getting a ham ticket are not in most all likely hood going to become serious hams, but they do count in the numbers game. So I would rather have their numbers than not, in case you have not noticed the numbers of hams is going down not up. While I agree that getting a ham license today is way to easy, if it was not, then there would be darn few of us left.
