A better analogy would be:

> History is littered with examples of eugenics programs, but that doesn't mean we should ban eugenics.

To which I'd argue we should absolutely ban eugenics because of the history of eugenics. Just like we should ban arbitrary political entry testing because of the history of exactly that.

I'm not making an "apples Vs. oranges" comparison, I'm making an "apples vs. historical apples" one.

You're looking at it from a perspective of "must pass the test to qualify"?

I'm looking at it from "test results should be public, anyone qualifies to run."
