OK, but can you answer the question as to why dyslexics deserve extra time while low-IQ people don't?
It's easier to sympathize with a group where the disadvantage is clearly defined, as in a diagnose.
This. It's not really 'sympathy', though, just the fact that a relatively clearly defined condition is easier to accommodate in manner that is specific to that condition.
Extra time isn't given to dyslexic people to make the paper easier (i.e. less rigorous or whatever) for them per se, but to give them the time they need to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. On the other hand, giving extra time to people with low IQ is neither being specific in accommodating their 'condition' nor as likely to be effective at helping them.
