For example, I have had more than one Advanced tell me
that s/he won't upgrade to Extra because the Advanced "proves" the
person passed a code test, while the Extra doesn't.

The only valid "proof" of code proficiency is a practical demonstration on the
air. If we can hold a QSO (actual speed is not important), then you've passed
my code test. Your license class is of no importance in this.
