I know, but it's still annoying to those of us who struggle to be able to do it at all
People with musical inclination take to CW much better than those of us who struggle to play "Mary Had A Little Lamb". The military actually came on campus and recruited some of my wife's college classmates who were music or music therapy majors as high speed CW intercept operators. They were taught to be able to receive nonsense character groups at 50+ WPM (since anything they would be copying off the air would be encoded). That was "a few" years ago, I don't know if they still do that.
