To me this kind of thing begs questions around affirmative action and other methods of non-'absolute-performance' admittance to jobs/schools/etc. I totally agree that for one person to get to the same 'absolute-performance' point can mean that different people had to come a lot farther than others, but this article implies that it doesn't(shouldn't?) matter. In college admissions though, its never colorblind, socioeconimically bling etc. I'm never really sure I know where I stand as on some level the absolute performance for a job is what matters to share holders, other employees and even end users - but as a society, the idea of whole groups of people being left behind seems shitty.
