So are you saying that in Libertopia, the LEGO test for some people and
the SAT for others is ok (Larry said that using different tests for
different people and different schools is ok, both implicitly in this
most recent post, and more explicitly in another, now perhaps he meant
that each school must only use one test, not one for some people and
another for other people, but that's not what I read), but in today's
system it isn't? What makes it ok in Libertopia, but not ok in today's
system (and is there a difference between public universities and
private)?

Just trying to clarify what we're actually arguing about. I'm not sure
that we aren't just arguing about how we get from here to Libertopia. If
that's the issue, I think it might actually be beneficial for us to
actually have different areas move towards Libertopia in different ways,
it might help prevent some people from accidentally falling off the road
(because some of the things that people have argued as problems with
Libertopia are I think possible hazzards of the road, but not hazzards
once we get there).

(...) Certainly a lot of my concerns about it fall into this category, I just want to make sure that the road isn't a suspension bridge during high wind, and that we aren't travelling in a high-sided vehicle! Richard (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
