Great post, as always. Regarding your point, "There is no evidence in the literature that grading on a curve perpetuates or worsens inequities...." It's a reasonable point, yet the arguments against grading on a curve already seem so strong to me that I personally feel no urge to have that data. If I imagine that two empirical studies addressing this issue will be published this summer, I would skim them to see what they found but they wouldn't change my practice one bit. Even if both studies were able to show that grading on a curve did not exacerbate inequity, that would not remotely "redeem" grading on a curve, at least for me.
