I'm just wondering what "remaining on your curve" means. Is that staying at
the same percentile level? What about catch up or catch down growth or other
variations in growth? Or is staying on your curve just following your own
pattern  of growth? If so how would you know by looking at weights? I'd take
looking at the whole story wouldn't it.
