Class rank exists and can be used to determine relative capability though.
I have no complaint with the idea that most students simply won't be able to achieve an A-grade if the material is both challenging and taught to proper standards, but I have a major problem with the notion that teachers are required to deny students that have mastered well above 90% of the material an A-grade because other students managed to yet outperform them. I hate the idea of grading on a curve. One should be judged against the mastery of the material, not comparatively against other students during that particular semester.
That said, I have also had college classes where I really should have failed the class but because of the curve, I got an A because I had the highest scores. While some of that reflects upon me, a good chunk of that reflects upon the instructor, the department and its head, and the curricula for that particular course. If students are to be held to high standards then instructors should likewise be held to high standards, and so should their institutions. If they cannot produce results then that should reflect both upon them and upon the revenue they receive in tuition.

You're free to make up your own definitions for words, but it makes communication difficult.
BTW, does Wotan exist? Do you "not believe he does" or "believe he doesn't" ?
And what do you call your position?
Anyone expecting corporations to not try to make a profit and extract maximum value for their shareholders ignore that that's their fiduciary duty.
Fortunately they're exempt from any ethical duty.
atheism is the affirmative belief there is no deity
Monotheism is the affirmative belief that there is no deity but yours.
Atheism means not believing in any gods.
All computation is mechanical at its core
What about studies that indicate the possibility of quantum effects within the brain?
I'm going to venture way out on a skinny limb and suggest that all mechanical processes are subject to quantum effects.
