Sorry, I wasn't trying at all to use the term as accurately as I can. I was simply trying to say that the usual arguments that teachers give to advanced students (the playing field will level by 3rd grade) is because of the lack of differentiation, and should not be the reason for a lack of differentiation. Please ignore my previous comment (and this one as well).
That's cool, I was thinking there was some underlying semantical thing that confuses the issue. But I get the Harrison Bergeron aspect of what you're saying now.
