That's a good point. I'm guessing in places that have already made up their mind in advance, there's not much you can say or do other than being persistent enough to wear them down and talking to enough people that you find one who doesn't have a closed mind.
I really hope we don't have to go that route because I'd prefer advocacy not to be my only activity outside of work. We only talked to a couple of places that did have a history of grade skips, but still seemed worried about kids having too much pressure and so were cautious about who they allow early entrance.
