Hmm, this is indeed an interesting proposal. I'm inclined upon initial thinking that this is probably not the case. For the aspiring 3rd density entity, one could perhaps strive for 100% positive polarity and only actually attain 75%, but their intention is in the right place, and has been proven by the >50% number, and hence graduation is attained. If the entity had been trying for 100% and only gotten as far as 30%, then it would become obvious that the entity was not really trying very hard and is therefore insincere. I am adding a lot of my personal view points to my argument, but I feel it's the intention behind the polarity that counts here.
The graduation percentages seems to be very specific for the progression of an entity, and not really relevant to anything else. Suppose we were to apply it to a final exam in school. 51% correctness (or in the case of Oahspe, accuracy?) is a terrible score. Most schools start a FAIL at 70% and move up from there. And even then, in most schools you cannot pass the class unless you at least get a "C", and rightfully so.
My intuition tells me that a grand establishment such as a confederation of highly evolved and ancient entities, no less the council to such a confederation, would hold at least to those standards, if not hold even stricter requirements.
