A FISKING. Number 2 Pencil is unimpressed with a proposal to race-norm scores on standard tests as the latest correction for cultural biases. A further note: the kind of golf handicapping being discussed in the proposal and the rebuttal is in use only in recreational play. It is not in use in professional tournaments. (At least nobody is seriously proposing a handicapping system of the form in use in keelboat racing. The system, which is supposed to enable similar boats to compete on something resembling an even basis, sometimes leads to boats withdrawing from races because for the wind speed and course configuration set, those boats will have their time adjusted in such a way that with best sailing they have no chance of winning.)
