That's not really fair, people don't grow unless they're challenged.
Some people really do never advance past a certain point, but a lot of people write someone off as mediocre when they're just still in the process of gaining skill. Also, they only assess ONCE, which is pretty bad if we're trying to establish how good you are forever and always.

That's true, but how do you discern between someone who has potential and has not yet been challenged, and someone who simply doesn't care? In my experience, the best will challenge themselves to learn new things on their own.
