Actualy I do not agree with that statement. It is only in the present state
of the art that you might say that a machine cannot read poorly sent morse. It
is not so many years ago that the present state of the art was considered beyond
the reach of machines!
It is surely not beyond the wit of man to imagine that a future generation
of machines and their programmes (I hesitate to use the word software
deliberately) might not only decode a data stream called "morse" but actually
interpret its "meaning" using rules based on language, useage and machine-based
artificial intelligence!
In the same way that the modern radio amateur has become an operator of
"black boxes" who is to say that the next generation of Black Boxes will not
become an operator of radio amateurs?
Some would say that this is alraeady the case!
