For one, a lot of people would find their accurate reasoning no longer denounced as racist by others. Example: before the crisis SWPL popular opinion blamed bankers for discriminatory mortgage lending to blacks. Government went in and fixed this by fiat. Today the same crowd turns around and blames bankers for disproportionate foreclosures among blacks, not realizing the implicit admission that outlawed lending practices must've been fair.
In short, you didn't succeed in impressing upon me the costs of truth.
Yes, alright, I see how incorrect egalitarian views could be a problem in scenarios unrelated to college admissions.
Sorry, I edited my comment a bunch of times, and I'm unsure which version you're replying to.
In any case, if that's really your view, I'm not sure I like you very much.
