Best part:

I would say that the main reason that we grade is since we really are not in the business of providing an education but rather in the business of providing degrees. To award a meaningful degree you need to grade. To deliver a meaningful education you do not.

I mostly agree, I think the whole education system is broken because of degrees (with a few exceptions like medicine and related careers), but giving degrees is actually possible without grading, a clear example: martial arts.

The reason martial arts get away with giving degrees without grading is that there are no time lapses defined, you get a new belt whenever the sensei thinks you deserve it. I think this can be applied to some parts of the education system as well.
