For instance, In Chapter D-I, section "The sound image method", one reads "The training begins also here with low speed, but the individual Morse code characters are sent from the start at a higher speed.". Years before Farnsworth's records, which, by the way, didn't use what almost everyone now wrongly calls #Farnsworth spacing, Koch had already described it.

Ludwig Koch's thesis (1936) is a treasure trove of empirical data and methodological proposals for the learning of Morse code. And Quentin Santos has made it available together with an English translation: https://github.com/qsantos/koch-dissertation

A developer of https://stendec.io/morse/koch.html, which I used to learn #CW, Elvis Pfützenreuter, PU5EPX, I believe, has told me that he seems to remember they removed Farnsworth spacing from the website because they received several complaints from other users claiming that #Farnsworth compression is detrimental to learning, so they ended up removing it. I learned at 20/12 approx. What do you folks think about Farnsworth spacing when learning? Pros and cons? Thanks!
I keep reading about #Longtermism and I can't help but think about what Prof. #Farnsworth said in #Futurama:
Goodbye, cruel world!
Goodbye, cruel lamp!
Goodbye, cruel velvet drapes, lined with what would appear to be some sort of cruel muslin and the cute little pom-pom curtain pull cords.
Cruel though they may be, I-- (p f)
