 :: Alternatively, this could be a reference to sports tier divisions; where AA and AAA basketball for example promote age and skill appropriate competition.
-The title text suggests that the scale as shown here is incomplete, by referencing further gradings that are not shown in the table. {{w|Critically endangered}} and {{w|Extinct in the wild}} are real conservation status categories recognised by the IUCN, although it's not clear what "Critically endangered/extinct in the wild" would mean - perhaps the "possibly extinct in the wild" designation, abbreviated CR(PEW). It would presumably fit on the table somewhere between "Extinct" and "Critical", although its ordering relative to "tall", "2" and "G" is unclear.

 The title text suggests that a score at this level had been {{w|Grading on a curve|graded on a curve}}, which bumped its rating up to "Venti", which is on the table, two steps below "Least concern". This would be an extraordinary example of such a curve, pushing the score from approximately 2/10 to almost 8/10. This could only happen if the exam was extremely difficult, meaning most results were significantly below 2/10.
