When I change word definitions I can make a great case for anything.

In fairness, the concept of equity could mean leveling the playing field by filling in the holes, but in practice it's achieved by grading the hills.

This is exactly my point. It's impossible to fill in all the holes. It's a nonsense term when applied to humanity. It can't be broadly applied to large concepts because there's just too much variability. People who use the term and paint with a broad brush can ONLY do it by bringing others down. It's not a concept you can use to build a civilization. You can use the word equity in very specific circumstances for specific reasons, and anyone who's trying to broaden the term is either disingenuous or stupid.
