Seems like a false equivalence. Playing Halo is itself the test. To have beaten the game is to have passed the test. If anything, that metaphor suggests students should be continuously tested to prove competence, and only by "beating" the test can they work on the next lesson. Which may be a good way to handle asynchronous learning, but doesn't work in a cohort.
