About ADF's -- I think they're mainly used to listen  to the ball games!-- they pick up commercial stations.And their range is WAY better than  VOR's. You can home in on a commercial station  near your destination airport from  a hundred miles or more away.
And in  Canada I'd never be without one -- everything else is just too far apart.
ADF is a good and proven system - don't sell it short. 
When/if unexpected fog sets in, or at night, it can save your butt.
But I agree it's perhaps foolish to spend much time & money on them for 'normal' navigation, and requiring this is perhaps outdated. (Tho it's really pretty easy)
On the other hand, ALL such knowledge will make you a better pilot.
But the Gov't does things like this. I believe the ship-captain license still requires you to know the light code for minesweepers! (3 geen lites in a triangle)
I for one have never even  seen  one underway, but have to know what to look for anyway.
Get with it, Uncle Sam!

Sorry for my rant, I know you don't make the rules and there are some things

Stick with it Russ. Our little turbanned friends might decide that laying mines is simpler than flying airplanes into tall buildings. Anything disappeared mysteriously in the Bermuda Triangle recently?

Cheers
