I read the entire transcript and understood that point. I prefer the default grading method to the proposed solution, though I admit I much prefer this discussion to those of the form of “getting rid of grades altogether.”
I don’t think we actually see the outcome you are referring to, where students who struggle at first end up with the same level of mastery. I don’t think we should use the grading process itself to compensate for inequities if they do exist.

So they still learned everything, just not on the artificial schedule imposed by one-off tests.
