My point is that deserving people in the categories that do not yet have peerages (archery, thrown weapons, equestrian, etc.) will have later dates of elevation because they did not have the opportunity to be elevated when they first earned it.
True, although I'd be careful about pushing that argument too far. In practice, many of those folks wound up getting Pelicans, which has served as a bucket where the exceptions get dumped into. (Li Kung is a Pelican, not a Laurel, and is a good example of how this has often worked -- there are actually many others.)
But yes, the situation has been unjust to many people, and that has a minor but real lasting effect in terms of many elevation dates. I don't think that's fixable, but it does help motivate fixing the problem as soon as possible...
