I think the problem in this comment, and the mistake many others make, is that they consider their viewpoint canonical, and everyone else's viewpoint wrong.
"Sympathetic" and "source of inequity" are subjective. Letting someone get extra points on their test because of their race is equitable to some, unequitable to others. Who decides?
There's an argument to be made that differing opinions of equity spread across many dozens of public servants might be a better approximation of true equity than a single opaque model embedded into a computer and applied to all.
Equity is not the same as equality and was never intended as a way to gauge equality.
Equity, by its very definition, is unequal. Every single thing done in the name of equity is unequal. On purpose. Because the "job" of equity is to right inequalities in the system.
